| The Marble Quilt by David Leavitt. List Price:$24.00 |
 |
In these stories, David Leavitt surveys, with characteristic grace and intelligence, the complicated terrain of human relationships, both in the present and the past. In The Infection Scene, a young man's determined effort to contract HIV is juxtaposed with an account of the early life of Lord Alfred Douglas. In the title story, an expatriate tries to make sense of his former partner's senseless murder. In Crossing St. Gotthard, the members of an American family traveling in Europe at the turn of the twentieth century find themselves confronting their own mortality as they plunge into a train tunnel in Switzerland. And in Black Box, the partner of a man killed in a plane crash is drawn into an unholy alliance with a fellow crash widow. Moving from Rome to San Francisco to Florida, from fin-de-siècle London to Hollywood in the early 1960s, these stories showcase the agility and sensitivity that have earned David Leavitt his reputation as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary short fiction.
