From the author of THE DANISH GIRL comes David Ebershoff's first collection of short fiction, THE ROSE CITY, nine finely crafted stories about young men finding a place in the world. Set in contemporary California and Boston, the stories each recount a moment in their protagonist's life when the world begins to shift beneath him: the boy who breaks into a gay man's house to see how he lives; the shy teenager who tries to starve himself away; the tennis tutor who learns too much about the family for whom he works; the strange boy named Chuck Paa who finds employment among the dying. The title story is about an unemployed actor at the end of his youth whose life in Southern California is filled by delusion, and a perpetual search for love.… (més)

I crane my neck to see the door frame, my fingers still typing, and just as Boyd and Jessica tiptoe forward and squint into the gray computer glow of their borrowed love nest, their dewy faces stuck in the silent instant between rosy excitement and ashen disgust, just at this moment, when before I would have felt only the tent of my soul collapse, just at this moment I realize that I am no more evil than Boyd, that if he can seek pleasure so will I, and that passion for us all will remain a troublesome thing.
