In this collection of bite-sized vignettes, Rhodes masterfully explores the distance between what we believe is real and what others know to be true-and nowhere is this distance greater than in the realm of romance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold with inimitable humor, with, and irony, as well as deep undrstanding and compassion, these short stories are guranteed to elicit both yelps of laughter and winces of recognition. All offer the gift of humor, though none are a paean to the institution of marriage. By turns poignant, surprising, and laugh-out-loud funny, Dan Rhodes has created a fresh and recognizable cast of scorned lovers, jilted fianc es, and vengeful spouses who wholeheartedly subscribe to the adage that all is fair in love and war.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDan Rhodes\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven books: \u003ci\u003eAnthropology and A Hundred Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDon't Tell Me the Truth About Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTimoleon Vieta Come Home\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGold\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLittle Hands Clapping\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThis is Life\u003c\/i\u003e and (writing as Danuta de Rhodes) \u003ci\u003eThe Little White Car\u003c\/i\u003e.
