The tie that binds men and women, that makes men do absurd things that they will very likely be sorry for later, is at the center of this prize-winning collection of stories. There is, for example, Jack Segal, who is thirty-six and who owns a record store on Ocean Boulevard in Santa Monica and who has fallen in love-badly and madly in love-with the fourteen-yearold daughter of his friend Katzman. Segal can't think. He eats, but it doesn't taste like anything. He drives the freeways, floats above the city lights, and finds himself almost wishing that the Great Quake would come and solve everyth Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I wish I had a room full of literature-minded people to discuss these stories with. I know that there are layers and layers to these stories that I have only scratched the surface of, not really uncovering the whole of them on my own. Symbolism runs throughout but what exactly they are symbols for I cannot be entirely certain.
All of the stories deal with men and women on various levels, but the major recurring theme, in my view, is the men's point of view of the destructive nature in loving women. When men love women, it destroys a part of them, a part that they want to destroy but regret having let go of. It leaves them with a conundrum of never being completely fulfilled.
