To be a man : stories
(Book)

The National Book Award finalist explores contemporary gender realities in a collection of short fiction that traces the experiences of diverse characters at various stages of life.

With sons and lovers, seducers and friends, husbands lost and regained, or husbands who were never husbands at all, how many men can a woman's lifetime hold? What does it mean to be a man and a woman together; or a man and a woman, once together and now apart? Krauss's stories illuminate the moments in the lives of women in which the forces of sex, power and violence collide.--adapted from Amazon info.
