The truth is, as a character in this provocative new collection puts it, 'passionate, beautiful, and hideous, it can make you happy and it can torture you, and it's always liberating.' In 'After the Season,' a man of humble means falls quickly in love with a woman belonging to a much elevated financial status and wrestles with his feelings and his beliefs about the rich.

And in 'The Night in Baden-Baden' a man who's caught in a lie changes his ways – by sleeping with another woman only after being accused.
