...psychiatrist between two of his patients. Standing alone in his living room, in his guy-at-home uniform of worn jeans, flannel shirt and socked feet, Michael (David Egan) likes to imagine himself lecturing at Carnegie Hall on the sex lives of superheroes. Eleanor (Abigail Gray) likes to rewrite love stories into tragedies--"Or, if they're already tragic but in a really noble way, I rewrite 'em so they're squalid and bitter." What's keeping this perfect pair apart? Only Michael's obsession with his heartless ex-girlfriend, Lisa (Erica Mitnick), who haunts his Carnegie Hall fantasies, asking...

At first, it was hard to believe that this gentle, unassuming woman was the famous Maxine Hong Kingston whose ideas had had such a large impact upon American literature. It soon became obvious...
...concerned and takes action, asking "the old man to come." After that summoning, there is a break in the text, as if an earth-shattering meeting, or story-changing event is about to take place. The next paragraph contains a description of the old man as a "cloud of gray," even elaborating on the kind of cloth his clothes are made of. The reader is set up to believe the old man will have an impact on the history of these women when in fact he is gone by the next page, never to be mentioned again, without having contributed...
