CityScapes Janet Taliaferro

Cityscapes is a collection of twelve short stories, all of them connected in some way to New York City and set in the late 20th Century, with one exception. The additional story is set in the 1930s Dust Bowl era. These stories examine human relationships and are unafraid to tackle the big subjects; race, gender, death, disease, addiction, suicide and the vagaries of family dynamics. They range from romantic to tragic. Written in the economic voice of the poet, these are classic, literary short stories reminiscent of O'Henry or Bret Harte
