Query: My Bedside Companion

Berman's Trysts is an excellent effort. After picking up the book, I had a hard time putting it down. Though some of the stories are brief, you get a clear sense of the environments and of who the characters are - something often hard to do in a short story. The characters offer a dark sexuality that appeals to this reader.Trysts compairs favorably to the Bending The Landscape series, and like Bending the Landscape was nominated for 2 Spectrum Awards. Trysts should have a home on your book self, if not your bedside table.
