Seller's Description:
Fair. Mass market (rack) paperback. Glued binding. 256 p. Audience: General/trade. The Maples stories trace the decline and fall of a marriage, writes the author in his Foreword, a marriage that is threatened early on by the temptations of infidelity (Snowing in Greenwich Village ) and that ends in a midlife divorce ( Here Come the Maples ). They also illumine a history in many ways happy, of growing children and a million mundane moments shared. That all blessings are mixed and fleeting does not make them less real, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds. A tribe segregated in a valley develops an accent, then a dialect, and then a language all its own; so does a couple. Let this collection preserve one particular dead tongue, no easier to parse than Latin.
