Remember How I Told You I Loved You? — Gillian Linden

From a brilliant new literary voice, a collection of stories that follow a young woman from college into her early thirties -- from delayed adolescence to (delayed) adulthood. Through college, careers, love affairs, and marriages, Linden's characters try to sort out what separates the passing from the permanent, the actual from the possible, and exactly how involved you really have to be in the basic questions of your life. From familiar patterns like ambiguous friendships, uncertain love affairs, and unfulfilling jobs, Linden has created something new: a sharp and intimate take on romance and infidelity, trust and betrayal.

A deadpan narrative, cool and precise, about hesitation and doubt and how to rid your apartment of mice, "Remember How I Told You I Loved You?" is by turns witty, moving, and darkly humorous.
