Sydney Beier’s “Reading to Horst” is a paean to possibility: an American woman living in Germany has a languorous encounter with a tourist who asks her to read aloud to him at a café from the copy of Anaïs Nin’s Little Birds in her hands. And Elizabeth Coldwell’s “Heat” describes the fierce affair between a barmaid and her brutish temporary boss, a man she doesn’t even like but who sets her heart pounding.
