Senile Rapture, an octet of short stories, is a romp through the 1940s to the near present. It is populated by characters that include a lawyer defending an indecent exposure case as symbolic free speech, a lingerie model, a Communist who insists her lover read Lenin as a prerequisite to getting her into bed, and a nightclub as a rendezvous of Czarist emigres. There are mobsters, religious fanatics, ambulance chasers, poultry inspectors pretending to be CIA agents, and a tender story of teenage love between a Jewish boy and an Irish Catholic girl whose parents want her to enter a convent. Experience a wild night in Memphis when a New Yorker is lured into a funeral home by his companion, who tells the widow that he flew down from New York expressly for the funeral. Senile Rapture is sentimental and fun. Enjoy!
