A Brief History of Several Boyfriends - Paperback

by Janet Olearski (Author)

A collection of twenty-five thought-provoking, table-turning, contemporary short stories about women and their sometime boyfriends, men who are almost boyfriends, disgraced boyfriends, never-going-to-happen boyfriends, dishonest, obsessive, and self-centred boyfriends. Their history is brief because they didn't make the grade or, unfortunately for them, they just didn't survive.

In an exploration of women's experiences and emotions, this collection of traditional and experimental storytelling - sometimes sad, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, always intriguing - leads the reader through hostile cityscapes, natural landscapes, and the rocky and uncertain territory of the female mind.
