Arkansas: Three Novellas

by David Leavitt

Arkansas: Three Novellas Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Here are three novellas of escape and exile, touching and funny and at times calculatedly outrageous. In Saturn Street, a disaffected L.A. screenwriter delivers lunches to homebound AIDS patients, only to find himself falling in love with one of them. In The Wooden Anniversary, Nathan and Celia - familiar characters from Leavitt's story collections - reunite after a five-year separation. And in The Term-Paper Artist, a writer named David Leavitt, hiding out at his father's house in the aftermath of a publishing scandal, experiences literary rejuvenation when he agrees to write term papers for UCLA undergraduates in exchange for sex.

Synopsis:

David Leavitt's first work of fiction since"While England Sleeps", these novellas explore the themes of escape and exile. By turns comical, lyrical, and speculative, they testify to the redemptive capacities of both the human heart and the literary spirit.
