About This Book

A collection of interrelated comic stories that chronicle social foibles and romantic misadventures in American social life. Central narratives follow a young librarian whose cautious demeanor collides with society's expectations, and other episodes portray flirtations, mistimed schemes, and embarrassing mix-ups. Through light satire and character-driven humor the pieces examine ambition, class pretension, and the gap between plans and outcomes, presenting episodic sketches of courtship, household life, and the unexpected consequences of well-intentioned designs.
