| Publisher Description: Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, friends--they all get into the act in Michael Mirolla's Lessons in Relationship Dyads. Harsh lessons, sweet lessons, bitter lessons, faux lessons, --these are tales that probe not just the primary relationships all humans "enjoy" but also the relationships involved in the act of storytelling itself. These stories rise from fiction to metafiction without ever forgetting that the central beat, the central electrical pulse, in any tale must come from the heart. |
