Passion and Affect: Stories -- Laurie Colwin

<p><strong>"Laurie Colwin was the best kind of master: human and humorous, full of wisdom and love." --Emma Straub, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>All Adults Here</em></strong></p><p><strong>In these fourteen tales, Laurie Colwin explores love and marriage, friendship and loyalty, and obligation and desire with the compassion and wit that earned her the devotion of legions of readers. </strong></p><p>When <em>Passion and Affect </em>was first published in 1974, Colwin was anointed as a young writer to watch. Now, a new generation has the opportunity to encounter some of the most charmingly complicated and beautifully drawn characters in modern fiction: a music critic whose orderly life is threatened by her flirtation with a married cartographer; an ornithologist perplexed by human mating rituals despite his expertise in the natural world; and two young men, best friends and cousins, whose relationship is disrupted by the sudden arrival of Misty Berkowitz in their lives.</p><p><em>Passion and Affect</em> is a dazzling must-have collection from a wise, big hearted writer. A deft and funny one, too.
