    About this ebook

    A collection of short stories and essays revolving around the darkness of love, viewed from many angles: the self-love of a prostitute, a middle-aged woman who returns to an unhappy marriage after twenty years to nurse her dying husband, disillusion and gender betrayal under the elms of a prestigious university... but all is not lost, for there is beauty too, even in the darkest heart of love.

      It’s been a year since I’ve been home. I missed Christmas because of work, so Thanksgiving marks a full lap around the calendar. My mom’s been complaining lately about how difficult things have gotten for her. Everything seemed so out of reach, so im

      I love tidy homes – for other people. I can see how orderly surroundings create a sense that all is right with the world. No running around manically looking for your purse, or the moisturiser you absolutely need to be able to function today. As it i

      Chris Erskine: We're In Need Of A Little Refinishing

      May 1, 2018

      We are a house of half-done things. The tomatoes are semi-planted, and the old dresser may never be refinished. The other day, I noticed the electric pencil sharper has a little stub in it from when someone broke off a tip. One of the inmates was pro
