"Multiple award-winning author VanPatten returns with a collection of short stories boasting well-developed characters and masterful storytelling." -- The US Review of Books VanPatten returns with another collection of stories from the fictional town of Mañana in Central California. Weaving a rich tapestry of lives, hopes, and secrets, he plums the depth of the human existence. In the titular story, "The Art of Martinis", the protagonist--a 23-year-old without goals or ambition--meets a man who changes his life in unexpected ways. A five-year-old in "Piano Lesson/s" experiences his first attraction in 1925 Mañana against the backdrop of class and race. A man facing the crisis of his disintegrating marriage recounts his life while sitting in a therapist's waiting room in "Penguins." An aging woman reflects on her new-found life as a widow in "Coffee with Half-and-Half." These, and other characters, have their lives laid out bare on the pages while VanPatten delivers award-worthy prose.
