Darling?

A funny and observant story collection that captures the complexity of human relationships
In this smart and original story collection, Heidi Jon Schmidt paints her subjects with delicate care. What emerges are characters who are both flawed and lovable—flighty women married to unbearably academic men; a diligent psychotherapy patient obsessed with her middle-aged narcissistic dump of a therapist; a gaggle of talentless writers too concerned with marketing strategy to put words on paper. Sparkling with keen wit and sharp insight, Darling? marks the return of an extremely gifted writer.
