Relation In Pursuance Of Books Arkansas: Three Novellas

Here are three novellas of escape and exile, touching and funny and at times calculatedly outrageous.

In "Saturn Street," a disaffected L.A. screenwriter delivers lunches to homebound AIDS patients, only to find himself falling in love with one of them.

In "The Wooden Anniversary," Nathan and Celia - familiar characters from Leavitt's story collections - reunite after a five-year separation.

And in "The Term-Paper Artist," a writer named David Leavitt, hiding out at his father's house in the aftermath of a publishing scandal, experiences literary rejuvenation when he agrees to write term papers for UCLA undergraduates in exchange for sex.

Appraise Containing Books Arkansas: Three Novellas

David Leavitt is a master of the form of short fiction. These three novellas are at times touching and at times shocking. Gay men will certainly understand the feelings of desperation in Saturn Street, but anyone can enjoy the raunchiness and playfulness of 'The Term Paper Artist'.

I liked the first story much more than the other two. But it was nice to read novellas instead of full-blown novels or short stories.

Blastermen of the Universe, get this and read "Saturn Street."

While raunchy, the series of novellas is touching and uplifting.

Three small packages of Leavitt for the price of one! Excellent book! Read it!

I really enjoyed reading this collection, and it reinforced my faith in David Leavitt as a writer. The first novella, The Term Paper Artist, is one of those stories that's held up by its premise. It has an interesting take on gay for pay. These guys are gay for research papers. Once the premise has been explored, the story is allowed to slowly wind down. I wouldn't call this a fault. I think that's just the story taking its natural shape.The high points of The Wooden Anniversary are the

Good longer works from a great short story writer. The first one is a stinging self-implication. It was a fun book to travel with, and a nice follow-up read to Family Dancing.
