Synopsis
Ellen Gilchrist, whose short stories won the 1984 American Book Award for Fiction, offers up new proof of her creative talent in DRUNK WITH LOVE.
This collection of short stories includes "Drunk with Love," "Nineteen Forty-one," "The Expansion of the Universe," "Adoration" and "Traceleen at Dawn."
DRUNK WITH LOVE goes beyond tradition. Running the gamut from dieting to murder, the stories introduce a whole new generation of characters--outrageous and tragic--that are unmistakably Gilchrist creations." (E.R.S. Reviews)

From Publishers Weekly
These 13 short stories take place around the country but there are few Southern characters, which, in many cases, renders these tales less flavorful than the predominantly Southern ones in Victory Over Japan. Still, "even when Gilchrist's stories do not completely succeed, they are superior fare well worth reading," PW stated.
