City Swimmers & Other Stories - 2513

In these ten stories, Steve Clark guides us through an urban terrain of relationships--marital and filial, romantic and bitter--exploring loss and longing in a timeless but modern cityscape. A man leaves his wife in bed with the flu and takes a walk through his past, encountering the dead and living, the real and surreal, on his last day alive in Paris. A couple, who've married each other three times, break up at an iconic New York piano bar. A wife casually confesses to a nonchalant husband that she's kissed a young hockey player at a Thanksgiving party. A girl in high tops becomes oddly entangled with an aspiring artist who works as a bouncer.... Sometimes brash, sometimes poetic, usually humorous, these stories provoke thought, provide experience, and aim to delight.
