Last Night by James Salter
A married woman, after a disturbing encounter with a drunken poet, finds herself irresistibly drawn to his animal surrogate, a huge dog. A lover of poetry must come to terms with his wife's request to give up what may be his most treasured relationship. This work presents ten stories that portray men and women in their most intimate moments.

He can, when he wants, break your heart with a sentence' Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World"
