The Edge of Marriage:
Stories
(2001) -- 1999 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short
Fiction
In nine stories of choice, discovery, and change, the
characters in this extraordinary debut collection ride the wavering line
between commitment and promise. In "Claude Comes and Goes," a husband
confesses affection for his wife's former lover who is dying. In "Dyaesthesia,"
a wife struggles with her responsibility for her adulterous husband after
he is maimed in an accident. In the title story, a husband confronts his
wife's breakdown and his own surfacing resentments. In language that is
eloquent and moving, Kaplan's stories speak to the mystery and pleasure of
friendship, love, and marriage. This startling and powerful collection is
illuminated by keen insight and hope.
