Perfect Recall by Ann Beattie

Ann Beattie,
Perfect Recall, stories: Eleven perfect stories from the winner of the 2000 PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction. Beattie defined the zeitgeist of the seventies and eighties, and now she deftly places her baby-boomers in the uneasy, comic confusion of middle-age. (Scribner)
