A secretary on a diet begins to see obese people everywhere she looks; a self-conscious poet is shadowed by her intrusive doppelganger; and a capricious, malevolent spirit seems to have inhabited an acquisitive matron’s prized piece of furniture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDelightfully strange and beautifully told, these nine tales show Alison Lurie at her luminous best.Alison Lurie is the author of many highly praised novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe War Between the Tates, The Truth About Lorin Jones\u003c\/i\u003e (Prix Femina Etranger), and \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e (Pulitzer Prize for fiction).
