Love under the microscope

Evelyn Lau has done it once again (see also Fresh Girls, and InsideOut, though they are sometimes hard to find, esp outside Canada). Her writing is like a medical dissection of emotions and relationships. Sharp, biting, scathingly unsentimental. Beautiful concise words and images. Here are women we all know, and probably in many ways ourselves... drawn to the mentor, the older professor, the married man. In a relationship with someone twice our age, what do we do when he is ready for retirement and we are living our lives to the fullest. Dark, somewhat bleak. I recommend, if you like tight realistic prose about emotions and human interaction.

Intensely sensual

Evelyn Lau is an incredibly intense and fascinating writer. Her words bring you closer into the character's thoughts, feelings, and actions. An amazing writer that should be cherished! From her first book "Runaway: Diary of a Street Kid" to her multiple collections of short stories, she is incredible! A must for anyone who wants to truly feel what another person is feeling. AMAZING!
