"Laurie Colwin was the best kind of master: human and humorous, full of wisdom and love." --Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of * All Adults Here*
** In these fourteen tales, Laurie Colwin explores love and marriage, friendship and loyalty, and obligation and desire with the compassion and wit that earned her the devotion of legions of readers.*When Passion and Affect was first published in 1974, Colwin was anointed as a young writer to watch. Now, a new generation has the opportunity to encounter some of the most charmingly complicated and beautifully drawn characters in modern fiction: a music critic whose orderly life is threatened by her flirtation with a married cartographer; an ornithologist perplexed by human mating rituals despite his expertise in the natural world; and two young men, best friends and cousins, whose relationship is disrupted by the sudden arrival of Misty Berkowitz in their lives. Passion and Affect * is a dazzling must-have collection from a wise, big hearted writer. A deft and funny one, too. (Washington Post)
