"For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature . . ." —The New York TimesThe eagerly awaited follow-up to Ladies' Lunch, beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal's final story collection returns with further tales of the old friends who have loved and lunched together for over forty years."Segal writes with welcome clarity about life’s final years, and if her characters are not always as wise as they think they are, Segal eyes them all with the unsentimental wisdom of a life spent writing wondrous stories and essays, a career spent telling the truth." —SlateLore Segal is a master of the short story, and this collection shows her in peak form. Profound, dark, and often hilarious, Segal portrays her characters' foibles, eccentricities, and passions with great compassion and exactness, as they grapple with life, aging, and each other.Readers of Ladies Lunch will recognize the educated, urbane nonagenarian women who have been friends for a lifetime, as they tackle aging's affronts with wit, grace, and resourcefulness.With an Introduction by Vivian Gornick
