At first, Alan Jordan marks the days that Charlotte Corin passes his gallery window by circling the dates in yellow highlighter on his calendar. Then they meet – the serious forty-something woodturner and the gawky young wannabe model – and nothing in Alan’s carefully ordered life is ever the same again. Stylish, perceptive, darkly humorous, this is a novella about obsession and idealism gone wrong. Winner, Hazard Press and Quote Unquote short fiction award.
