Great stories -- out of print

Autobiographical fiction of the best sort. The descriptions of familiar family members (and friends and lovers) are clever, funny, and totally humane. Louie is sympathetic, respectful, and wise -- and very hip, too. Great stories which you must snatch from whatever remainder table you spot them on!
