From the pristine dust jacket: "Douglas Unger's fiction is sharp-edged and compelling, whether he's exploring his own boyhood on the street in 'Autobiography' and 'Matisse,' or the life of a student lab assistant who bonds with a burnt-out rhesus monkey ("Leslie and Sam"), or the strange fate of a young woman, in 'Tide Pool,' who returns from a second honeymoon on a paradisiacal Brazilian island to succumb to a mysterious malady. The collection is capped by the powerful novella 'Looking for War,' where a would-be war correspondent, whose older brother is a shell-shocked Vietnam vet, stumbles upon his own war in a brief but grisly action in the jungles of Paraguay.".
