In this stunning collection, Eric Wasserman's beautifully crafted stories chart the experiences of charcters who, in various ways, must come to terms with the less-than-perfect realities of their lives. He writes with a rare mixture of ironic wit and compassionate perception, and the result is both captivating and luminous. --Frederick Reiken

The Temporary Life

Wasserman, Eric

Literature & Fiction

LA Questa Pr

Most Jewish-American fiction is centered on Jews from New York City or New Jersey or Boston whose parents all retire to Florida. Wasserman examines the diverse west coast experiences of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and especially Los Angeles, all having their own unique Jewish-American sensibility and quirkiness. Written early in his career, the stories reflect a young writer who was very hungry to make his mark. The stories all have a youthful immediacy and energy. This edition of The Temporary Life has a new forward written by the author and includes a book group guide.
