Kissing Lucy Thai

As with all of Bruce Weber’s short story books, the settings for these tales span the globe, from the leafy suburbs of Scarsdale, New York to the steamy jungles of Laos, from the desert canyons of the Southwest to tiny villages in northern France, and from a stuffy apartment in Tel Aviv to the banal suburbs of Las Vegas.

But settings are no more than stages for the same dramas enacted daily by people around the globe. Driven by love or lust, greed or compassion, hate or mercy, they act out in their individual lives the destiny of our race, adding their own unique contributions to the ongoing Human Comedy.
