Synopsis
At first everything appears safe, although the posada where they're staying is almost empty. They hear sounds at night that Sam believes to be gunfire, but are told the noises are only fireworks in a neighboring village. An American woman staying at the posada goes out for a walk and doesn't return. Soldiers station themselves in the town plaza. Jenna does not consider herself a risk taker, yet she now finds herself in a situation where everything she's believed stable is threatened, and she must act in ways she's never anticipated. In spare and luminous prose, this novella examines the lives of two people who set out to explore a foreign land and discover what they must actually explore are their own assumptions about themselves.

From Publishers Weekly
Robin Beeman ably manipulates style and structure in her complex and suspenseful novella, The Lost Art of Desire, awarded the 2000 Texas Review Novella Prize. Set in a lush Mexican jungle (Beeman herself studied and taught in Mexico), the book chronicles the adventures of a pair of lovers on a vacation that turns into something more, elegantly combining introspective philosophical meditation with a fast-moving, entertaining plot.
