Hailed by the Washington Post Book World as "one of our era's most vital masters of the short form," Ann Beattie offers readers unforgettable glimpses of people coming to terms with the world around them. Most of the characters in Where You'll Find Me grew up in the 1960s and 1970s; when we meet them they are in their twenties and thirties and embody a curious, yet familiar, fusion of hope and despair. In finely crafted, often surprising narratives, Beattie writes of women nursing broken hearts, men looking for love, and married couples struggling to stay together.
Ann Beattie's very best ever! Mrs. Beattie has the power to capture the human spirit with words like a child with a butterfly net. Her stories expose a piece of truth that the reader will find lies well hidden within themselves. Each story not only provides insight into the life of a character who appears naked on the page in a brilliant light, but also forces an intraverted look at oneself. Beattie writes what we are afraid to think.
