A new collection--about loss, alienation, aging, and the strangeness of contemporary life--by the award-winning, and inimitable, author of The Book of Goose.A grieving mother makes a spreadsheet of everyone she's lost. And every year, a restless woman receives an email from a strange man twice her age and several states away. Elsewhere, a professor develops a troubled intimacy with her hairdresser.
