The nine stories and one poem collected in this volume formed the basis for the astonishingly original film '€œShort Cuts'€ directed by Robert Altman. Collected altogether in this volume, these stories form a searing and indelible portrait of American innocence and loss. From the collections Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, Where I'€™m Calling From, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and A New Path to the Waterfall; including an introduction by Robert Altman. With deadpan humor and enormous tenderness, this is the work of '€œone of the true contemporary masters'€ (The New York Review of Books).
