- Summary:
- "Many of the characters in House parties see themselves with a certaun bemused humor and strive to stay self-possessed even as they struggle against the strange and undeserves things that happen to them. At other times, the characters--sometimes successfully, sometimes not--keep trying to escape the gravity of a plight they created or a problem they refuse to resolve. In observant and generpus prose, Levin writes in tones that range from the wry, witty, and hilarious to the lyrical and deeply serious"-- Provided by publisher.
