Marry Me
by Dan Rhodes
Offering a wry, sharp, and unfailingly honest look at marital life (and strife), in 79 (very) short stories. Rhodes's deft use of language spares no emotion and leaves no romantic stone unturned—husbands, wives, lovers, and all combinations thereof are ripe for the picking (and choosing). The result is a collection of vignettes both funny and subtle, outrageous and poignant, equal parts absurd and all-too-familiar.
