Description: These funny and serious stories tell of friends, family life, neighborhoods, bad sex, good conversation - what binds us together, what keeps us apart. They whistle and sing about what's sad, silly, and to be celebrated in uneasy times. Playful and political, these grown-up urban folk tales show how, in a time of cultural dislocation, we connect with ourselves and one another, in friendship, marriage, imagination, story-telling, and love.
