ADAMS, ALICE The Last Lovely City
Washington Square Press, 2000. (ISBN: 0671036181) Paperback , 8.2 x 5.3 x 0.6 inches. The fictional territory staked out by Alice Adams in The Last Lovely City is populated by characters with names like Carter and Chase and Zo? and Slater. They often live in the Berkeley hills and have professions like concert pianist, architect, psychiatrist, cellist; even their pets are upper-crust, sporting monikers such as Molly Bloom and Parsley. And yet, for all their wealth and brilliance, Adams's characters are unhappy people. Infidelity, divorce, and a steady, low-grade depression run through these stories; relationships are complicated and often destructive. Very Good.
