In her second book of stories Kerry Langan explores, through characters drawn from academe and the wider world, the myths that unconsciously shape our behavior and our sense of possibility. In Live Your Life, an unemployed philosophy major fresh from college tries to live out his utopia, a teenage telemarketer learns success is more than cold calls and sales volume, a jilted groom stumbles into a full life, a soap opera star finally learns where his character ends and he begins. In A Lonely Virtue, stories set in a small college town, a student balances the scales with her seductive teacher, a competitive professor learns what he has in common with a colleague he scorns, a shy dean discovers courage and his ambitious wife come-uppance. We recognize ourselves in these characters; they cause us to wince and to laugh, and to wonder what myths we may be blindly living by—and what surprises await us if we open our eyes.
