Résumé
A collection of stories that deeply explore the ways in which money and the estimation of value affect the lives of the characters, reflect our contemporary world-swindlers, reality show creators, desperate artists, siblings, parents - who try to answer the… question: What is the real definition of worth? In "Theft," an eighty-year-old swindler, accustomed to tricking people for their money, boards a cruise ship to see if she can find something of true value - a human connection. In "Anything for Money," the creator of a reality show is thrown into the real world when his estranged granddaughter re-enters his life in need of a new heart; and in the title story, young artist parents in downtown Manhattan escape the attack on 9/11 only to face a battle over their subletted apartment with a stranger who might have lost more than only her deposit. 2016.
