The Man Who Touched Billie and Other Stories

Ranging from bittersweet memories to fantasized futures, from short experimental takes to fully realized satirical concepts, and from social ironies to academic comedies, these stories illustrate the work of a writer one critic has called "prolific and Protean." The first and the last were prize-winners, while more than half the others have been published previously, (four already reprinted). They tell tales of love and longing, of sports and spite, of strange ways and stranger happenings.
