Miguel Antonio Ortiz – författare

At Fortunoff's is a collection of short stories focused on the life of New Yorkers in the second half of the Twentieth Century. The conflict between the impulse to fall in love and the necessity of dealing with the practical needs of everyday life is explored with an intensity that makes the reader both apprehensive and fulfilled. From the first story, a snapshot of a relationship between a young woman and an older coworker, to the last, an exploration of how a frontline soldier deals with the irrationality of war, the subtleties of the relationship between men and women are closely explored.
