Working Title: His Laugh
1st Sentence: She rejected Anton because he had too much nose, Richard because he could never remember what personal stories he had told her and which he had not, Ellis because he wore sneakers with khakis.
Favorite Sentence: Week after week slid by and there was Thomas, hanging around Marsha’s elbow—was he shrinking?—double-dipping the crudités, gnawing at a chicken wing like a starved jackal for Christ’s sake.
