Summary

The collected short stories of Thomas H. Cook. They range from the intensely focused world of "Fatherhood," the title story, to "Rain," a dark, kaleidoscopic tale of Manhattan on a single, rain-swept night. "The Fix," the story of a famous boxing fix that was, well, not a fix at all. "What She Offered," the gripping tale of a one-night stand. From a backwoods Appalachian shack during the Depression ("Poor People") to a Midwestern college campus in the throes of sixties revolt ("The Sun-Gazer") to a midtown Manhattan bookstore on Christmas Eve, "The Lessons of the Season,"
