Six short stories about love: a love cruel, violent and often destructive, which does not admit hesitation and compromise: that love is a shattering experience, an explosion, an attack that shakes the spirit and the body. In the stories of Oates life is a battle fierce, no holds barred, for success but also for the need to be recognized, accepted, remembered and loved. Contains short stories: Queen of the Night. — The precipice. — The tryst. — A middle-class education. — In the autumn of the year. — A sentimental education.
