In "Calamity Jane," see love through theeyes of teenage boys obsessed with the calamitous girl of the title;revisit the famous Greek love story in "Orpheus and Eurydice"; Dan'smechanical automaton seems to be his truest friend in the harshlyconformist world of "Automatonomatopoeia"; a Crimean revolutionary getswaylaid at a mysterious gate in "The Invitation"; on a construction site in Yugoslavia, a young man tries to come to grips with unconventionalfatherhood in "Vikings"; and in "The Conversation", a blind womanmanages her relationship with a hectoring mother while finding othertypes of love.

These are just a few of the tales in Resistance,Revolution and Other Love Stories.
