Download Trust Me: Short Stories AudioBook Free
The theme of trust, betrayed or fulfilled, runs through this collection of short stories: Parents lead children into peril, husbands forego wives, wives manipulate husbands, and time undermines all. Love pangs, a popular subject of the author, take on a new urgency as earthquakes, diseases, lost wallets, and deaths of distant friends besiege his increasing age heroes and heroines. One man adores his wife's twin, and many men love the thought bliss of these pasts; one female can take an impotent lover, and another must administer her father's death. Bourgeois conveniences and vibrant convictions are tenderly viewed as certain to erode: "Man," as one of these stories concludes, "had not been meant to abide in paradise."
