In this riveting collection of stories from acclaimed author Jess Walter, a teenage girl tries to live up to the image of her beautiful, missing mother. An elderly couple confronts the fiction writer eavesdropping on their conversation. A son must repeatedly come out to his senile father while looking for a place to care for the old man. A famous actor in recovery has a one-night stand with the world's most surprising film critic. And in the romantic title story, a shy twenty-one-year-old studying Latin in Rome during 'the year of my reinvention' finds himself face-to-face with the Italian actress of his adolescent dreams." -- $c Description provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. $9 253583 650 0 $a Change $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $v Fiction. $9 211224 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft $9 802200 655 7 $a Satirical literature. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20231021010944.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230801010328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A440CB8E300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
