TRIO

by Ralph Bland

Three novellas of the contemporary world explore the dark, frenzied, and sometimes ridiculous side of romantic relationships in Ralph Bland's Trio. From the unrelenting pursuit of the young woman narrator by the title character Jimmy Mills, to an entangled triangle between two sisters and a new arrival in their societal circle, to one man's reoccurring romantic loss and victory in a forty year courtship of his best friend's wife, these three pieces depict lives led not squarely on reason and sunlight and sensible fare-thee-wells, but those that dwell in a land where fact is generally a lie, dark is light, and truth is something to be traded in for a good healthy dose of fiction and healthy make-believe.
