Against the varied backdrops of Grateful Dead shows, anniversary parties, sickrooms, and bright Manhattan vestibules, Nissen traces the joy, terror, and electric surprise that flash between people as they suddenly connect. A fifteen-year-old girl whose mother is slowly dying finds solace in the bed of her best friend's older brother. A wife remembers the early romance in her marriage as she watches her husband's hand, shaky with Parkinson's, lift a bite of food to his mouth. Longtime friends are jolted by their unforeseen attraction to each other; new lovers feel their way by instinct in vans, on futons, an during risky, late-night conversation. Knowing, often hilarious, and always pitch-perfect, Nissen's tales hang inside those moments when the heart is acting and the head is watching, hopeful that the heart is doing the right thing. 187527 1999 Out of the Girls' Room and Into the Night: Stories total:268|5:69|4:104|3:70|2:22|1:3| 268 1018 360 29 193901 038572053X 9780385720533 267 29 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172588009m/193901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/193901.Out_of_the_Girls_Room_and_Into_the_Night_Stories 4 0 false Thu Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 07:38:16 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 05:41:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 193901 038572053X 9780385720533 267 29 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172588009m/193901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/193901.Out_of_the_Girls_Room_and_Into_the_Night_Stories 1 0 false Sun Sep 28 11:43:16 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 11:49:04 -0700 2008 This book is just not good.
