Description: "A divorced mother in Florida reflects on the life that is slipping away from her. A young zoologist sees the world from the business end of his zebras. A writer, marooned in a watery dystopia and charged with entertaining an unruly mob, pays the consequences for his (in)sensitive choice of material. And Pythagoras explains just what exactly was his problem with triangles." "Linked and distinct in its use of recurring 'dream' stories as a leitmotif, I Could Ride All Day in My Cool Blue Train reveals a writer of enormous range."--Jacket.
