| Summary: | A mother teaches her son how to kiss. A father and his grown daughter share secrets while sharing their bodies. A woman finds she cannot experience her lover's touch without succumbing to intensely erotic recollections of a past lover. Webs of memory, oblique emotion and immediate sensation, spun in prose that is spare, fevered, oblique and beautiful, Nightwork's tales tease out the sexual and the violent imbedded in the mundane. |
