Overview

Four short stories by an award-winning author, collected in one volume for the first time: The Diva and the Drug Addict: Two disparate souls bond during the last phase of their rehabilitation, each struggling with different challenges. Russian Tropics: A refugee from the Bolsheviks encounters a refugee of a different sort in Florida and ponders whether to chart a new course with him. Perfume Wars: Recovering from Covid, an insurance agency manager tries desperately to get his sense of smell and equilibrium back after loss. The Plan: Two former lovers concoct an art scam -- or is it? -- as they try to figure out a plan for their life together. PRAISE FOR LIBBY STERNBERG'S ""DAISY"" ""The author writes with a poised composure that reads like a continuation of Fitzgerald's prose... (and) reconstructs a timeless American novel by adding compassion to Fitzgerald's superficial relationships...A delightful portrayal of a female character claiming the story as her own, repossessing her own voice."" Publishers Weekly BookLife Contest ""Sternberg tells Daisy's side of the story with signature Fitzgeraldian banter and adds to the source material by imagining what happens off the page during the original tale's events...Sternberg's take on the classic is original and charming."" BookList ""Must Read. Stunning and beautifully crafted, Daisy is both a love letter to Fitzgerald's original and a fresh and enriching take on the classic... I love this book. It manages to capture the tone and style of Fitzgerald while carving out a deep and rich story of its own. Five stars.
