Unheard Music

A writer of telling, minute detail with global vision, Peter Meinke reveals the intricacy of human relationships, the importance of individualism, and the power of place and culture in this new collection of stories. Masterfully-crafted dialogue, slight shifts in point-of-view, descriptive precision and imagination, and dramatic tension drive each story deeply into the human psyche. The settings range from old England to contemporary Paris and Warsaw, and across the United States. The featured characters -- whether on tennis courts, in restaurants, or in their own beloved homes -- always make surprising choices as they cope with love, lust, ambition, regret, youth, and old age.
