Honeymoon: Stories / Joan Gerber / 1985 / pp126

Another linked collection of stories about a woman in her late 20s. Probably would have appreciated it more if I hadn't just read "Rough Translations" which is essentially the same. These feel older than 1985. Confusingly there's a few not-connected stories set inbetween the connected stories, with similarly grouped characters (woman-man/husband/boyfriend-child). There was always a sharp air of disappointment in these. They made me sad and wistful-- i felt bad for the woman in the stories.
