This may be the most unusual love story in contemporary fiction--the love affair between an American writer and five great writers of the past. Daniel Stern reinvents six great literary works and puts his own signature on them in this imaginative collection of short stories. "The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud: A Story" has appeared in The O. Henry Prize Stories: 1987 and Best American Short Stories: 1987. "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life by Sigmund Freud: A Story" won the Paris Review's John Train Humor Prize.
