These 12 looping, interconnected stories about various aspects of modern love represent John Barth's first collection since Lost in the Funhouse was published in 1968. The individual tales are placed within the broader context of a comfortable semi-autobiographical relationship, in which husband and wife delight in the art of telling one another stories while vacationing in sunny resorts and playfully debating the qualities of each narrative.
