Find Me

Find Me: Stories by Bruce F. Kawin collects eight tales ranging in length from two pages to nearly a hundred, some strange and some comforting. "Terse and yet opulent, these stories are a revelation of language in action" (David E. James).

Their topics include a brilliant sculpture made and named by a six-year-old girl; an FBI investigation that Kafka would recognize; a remark Borges made in a park to Kenneth Koch; and a fable of innocence and violence in an elementary school menagerie. The title novella, "Find Me," is a drama of love beyond death set in 21st-century Los Angeles in which the lovers confront both political and metaphysical forces on their way to a startling end.
