I love this writer. I had finished a book of her short stories a while back and then found this novel. I was definitely more interested in some of its characters more than others, all who inhabited The Apartment. But they were always well written.

Katie Singer, The Wholeness of a Broken Heart

“When I called Nona Aguilar, author of The New No-Pill, No-Risk Birth Control (Simon & Schuster, 1986), I described my frustration that I was not acceptable to the training program at the Albuquerque clinic. “Well,” she said, respectfully, “I agree with that policy.” I leaned back in my chair. “Okay,” I said. “I don’t understand this.
