520 1 $a"To be untethered in the waking world, to have the feeling that perhaps we are sleepwalking - that's what life can be like for the people in these eleven stories by Peter LaSalle." "The characters range from a fragile, and very rich, Mount Holyoke College girl in Paris to an out-of-work American businessman caught up in an international financial scam in Buenos Aires; from a happy-go-lucky old piano-lounge performer, once famous in all the New England seaside resorts, to a quartet of passengers on a bus barreling across the Mexican desert on Christmas Eve - and heading right toward a nightmarish encounter indeed on the road. In one story, a troubled guy, who is somehow both himself on a hockey scholarship at Harvard in the sixties and himself a few decades later, meets his beautiful lost girlfriend at a long-gone Cambridge cafeteria. The busboys become hovering angels. Time slips backward and forward. Things that happened may not have happened."--BOOK JACKET.
