title: Dark Continent and Other Stories (Contemporary American fiction)
author:  Laura Kalpakian 
description: These six tales introduce various, mostly small-town women, among them Africa, who is "a strange terrain" to certain men; Manila, who goes mad over her son's death in WW II; and Jolee, ambivalent toward her mother's irresponsible second husband. According to PW , "Readers disaffected with trendy, minimalist, new-age fiction may enjoy Kalpakian's frankly sentimental storytelling." <br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
