- Summary
- "The characters in these stories struggle against loss. In the title story, four lonely suburban boys gather in a toolshed and, convinced that their piano teachers are witches, plan to build a bizarre machine to cure their lives. In "Cannibal Kings," a disillusioned young man accompanies a boy on a tour of prep schools through the Pacific Northwest, growing increasingly unnerved by his strange companion and, equally, by himself. And in "Come Live with Me and Be My Love," a middle-aged gentleman looks back on his thirty-year marriage to a vivacious woman, arranged to escape the censure of his family, and his too-late understanding of love."--BOOK JACKET.
