商品簡介
Phillip Lopate proves himself a master of the short novel in this inspired pairing of novellas portraying two less-than-perfect unions. In The Stoic's Marriage, Gordon, a Stoic with "a stunted capacity for happiness," meets the enchanting Rita when she arrives as a nurse's aid sent to care for his dying mother. The attraction is instant and a marriage proposal ensues. But when Rita's cousin from the Philippines arrives one Christmas, both Gordon's stoicism and marriage vows are put to the test. Eleanor, or, The Second Marriage recounts one seemingly golden weekend in the lives of Eleanor and Frank, whose Brooklyn townhouse is a gathering place for their circle of cosmopolitan friends. Their preparations for a Sunday dinner party are interrupted by the arrival of Frank's son, a young man troubled by his own aimlessness. Other guests arrive, and in the midst of great conviviality, simmering tensions erupt.
