Midtown Holding Pattern: Stories

Abstract

In this collection of fictional short stories, we meet people who are stuck: in unfulfilling jobs, unsatisfying relationships, and other moments of their lives that they suddenly cannot bear any longer. There are psychics and sex changes and hysterical pregnancies, weddings and babies and funerals, and through it all, a destabilizing sense of failure as each character falls from grace or cannot reach those prescribed cultural marks of young adulthood.
