description: Dawid's cast of characters spans a variety of ages, nationalities, genders and sensibilities. Her wanderers traverse continents; people collide with one another in France, Greece, China, New Mexico, upstate New York. A Palestinian lesbian meets her Jewish doppelganger in a Salt Lake City bar; in the title story, a lonely, middle-aged man longs only for the company of his dog, Lily, during a suicidal drive through the snowbound Nevada desert.
