A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You

With this second collection, Amy Bloom is already being hailed as one of the best short-story writers of her generation In these stories we meet more of the author’s irresistible characters: a woman recovering from cancer while her best friend and husband face their loneliness and a new friendship; a mother coming to know that her wonderful little girl is a boy; a man and his stepmother in a complicated dance of memory, anger and forgiveness. These are stories on the frontiers of emotions, stories about the uncertain gestures of love, the betrayals of the flesh and the surprises of the heart.
