Other People We Married

The beloved debut story collection from the New York Times-bestselling author of Modern Lovers andÂ The Vacationers.

In Other People We Married, Straub creates characters as recognizable as a best friend, and follows them through moments of triumph and transformation with wit, vulnerability, and dazzling insight. In â€œSome People Must Really Fall in Love,â€ an assistant professor takes halting steps into the awkward world of office politics while harboring feelings for a freshman student. Two sisters struggle with old assumptions about each other as they stumble to build a new relationship in â€œA Map of Modern Palm Springs.â€ In â€œPuttanesca,â€ two widows move tentatively forward, still surrounded by ghosts and disappointments from the past. These twelve stories, filled with sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language, announce the arrival of a major new talent.

From the Trade Paperback edition.
