"... wit, charm, feeling, depth"-David Evanier, Author, The One-Star Jew and former fiction editor, The Paris Review. "These are stories Harold Ross would have chosen for the New Yorker because they are so intelligent and literate, but stories about an America he could have never envisioned. Dina Rabadi offers an honest voice about the country that evolved. They are haunting, lonely and so true."-- Vincent J. Schodolski, author and previous West Coast Bureau Chief, The Chicago Tribune Influenced by the Czech artist Mucha's series on women and seasons, the title story of Dina Rabadi's debut fiction collection follows an aging moonlight photographer's quest for success and his models' (all ordinary women) quest for a sense of beauty. Like the women in Mucha's series, each of the women represents a season-summer, fall, winter and spring and in representing seasons represents Everywoman. Other stories range in theme and setting from the questionable success of the building of the atomic bomb to a motherless Spanish boy who becomes a perfume maker in the south of France. Several of Rabadi's stories have been published in various periodicals including Fiction (2003 short story finalist.)
