A collection of short stories, including the tale of a middle-aged bank president who seeks diversion with an office temp - a nudist and bald mime artiste who strips away all externals in her quest for pure truth. Other work by the author includes "Remind Me to Murder You Later".
Picked up this book after reading 'Mad Honey' -- looking up earlier books by Jennifer Finney Boylan. I'm intrigued by the idea of stories with a Centralia connection.
Definitely surreal! Note at the back says the stories are continued in "The Constellations".
NOTE: Title is actually "The Planets". I'm reading hardback from my local library. Title is actually "The Planets". Published by Poseidon Press/Simon & Schuster. ISBN 0-671-72715-X Copyright 1991.
