The Last Lovely City
Stories
Sophisticated, charming, often nostalgic, and so artfully written that half the time you don't know that you are reading on of the best writers around. --The Boston Globe In her final collection, Alice Adams ranges from San Francisco to a North Carolina college town, to a run-down resort in Mexico. And a grouping of four stories at the end follows a divorced psychiatrist in an arc that constitutes a short novel. Included are: His Women, Great Sex, Old Love Affairs, and The Drinking Club, Patients, The Wrong Mexico, and Earthquake Damage.
