Naked to the Waist by Alice Elliott Dark 261 pages




The short stories in this book are all about people, usually in their 20s or 30s, who are struggling with self-doubt, self-definition, and purpose in life.  The dialogue is crisp, even when the decisions of the characters is muddled.  Some of the characters are unsure of their sexuality and some are unsure of what their commitments to their partners mean to them.

I enjoyed this book and the writing.  Also by Alice Elliott Dark: In the Gloaming: Stories; and Think of England: A Novel. Both excellent reads.
