- Summary
- "What does it mean to be male in a world in which old borders no longer exist? How can a man have a relationship if he doesn't even know who he is - and what better way to find out than by committing to a woman?" "Snapping Lines brings familiar and new stories together in a collection that explores the lives of loners searching for love. Jack Lopez writes about people who have adopted a stoical indifference to a world in which they always seem to find themselves on the losing end.".
- "These stories explore Latino male identity and the forces that shape it: friends, family, and lovers; culture, place, and relationships. They focus on men - often workingmen in the building trades - who construct their lives through their work and live in perpetual limbo because they don't know who they are. Men who stumble onto the relationships they need almost by accident. Men who try to control their relationships but often fail."--BOOK JACKET.
