Westwood Public Library

by Bonnie Jo Campbell

A collection of stories about flawed women, flawed relationships, and the consequences of mistaken choices.  Grim, but always human and often humorous.  Her novel, ONCE UPON A RIVER, is also a winner.

By Robert Goolrick

Young Rooney is flying high on Wall Street - money, drugs, women - until he crashes.  This semi-autobiographical novel is narrated by an older and much, much wiser Rooney.  Goolrick is a fascinating writer. (Try his memoir, THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.)
