Description
“CURIOUS VILLAGERS STOPPED TO STARE AT THIS SHAMELESS MAN AND WOMAN WHOSE FINGERS WERE WOUND IN EACH OTHERS` HAIR, AND WHOSE LIPS WERE STRETCHED WITH IMPOSSIBLE SMILES, AND FACES WERE GLOWING LIKE WARM RED WAX IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. BUT AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, THEY TOO WALKED AWAY, BECAUSE LOOKING AT THE TWO ANY LONGER BECAME UNBEARABLE.` A WOMAN WHO WON`T LET THE SHADOW OF DEATH DISRUPT HER LOVE LIFE, ANOTHER WHO FALLS IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH A DEAD POLICE OFFICER, A DEVOTED WIFE WHO STEPS OUT TWICE A WEEK FOR NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS, FRIENDS WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOVERS, THE WOMAN WHO OFFERS ALL HER PENT-UP LOVE TO A RAILWAY ANNOUNCER`S VOICE … ANNIE ZAIDI`S STORIES ARE AT ONCE WARM AND DISTANT, VIOLENT AND GENTLE – AND, ABOVE ALL, UNTROUBLED BY CYNICISM. THIS IS A LOOK AT LOVE, STRAIGHT IN THE EYE, TO UNDERSTAND THE ALLURING NATURE OF THE BEAST. “
