Hailed by the "Washington Post Book World" as "one of our era's most vital masters of the short form," Ann Beattie offers readers unforgettable glimpses of people coming to terms with the world around them. Most of the characters in "Where You'll Find Me" grew up in the 1960s and 1970s; when we meet them they are in their twenties and thirties and embody a curious, yet familiar, fusion of hope and despair. In finely crafted, often surprising narratives, Beattie writes of women nursing broken hearts, men looking for love, and married couples struggling to stay together.

Ann Beattie is a writer of enormous compassion and honesty. Beattie expertly draws contemporary domestic life and evokes the pain and confusion of modern relationships. Her characters are wonderfully authentic, her detailing of everyday life photographically true.
Beattie's stories offer starkly honest, often bittersweet glimpses of life -- women nursing broken hearts, men looking for love, married couples struggling to stay married, having affairs, leaving or wanting to leave. Disillusionment abounds. Love is often frustrated, unrequited, or absent. But Beattie moves gently among her characters, gracefully revealing their failings, their troubles, and ultimately their ability to endure. Her unsentimental voice propels these remarkable stories forward, and her keen insight affords us a rare glimpse into the human heart.
Ann Beattie won the Pen/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction in 2000. She is the author of six previous collections of stories and seven novels, including, most recently, The Doctor's House. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, she divides her time among Maine, Florida, and Virginia.
