Affinity
ByPublisher Description
Aristotle proposed that a friend is, in essence, "another self," and it is indisputable that our relationships with our friends are nearly as complex as the ones we have with ourselves: One minute we're in perfect accord, another we're uncertain. Friendships are as mercurial as they are essential. We form friendships that are fraught, friendships that fade, and friendships that are as important to us as our very lives.
investigates the phenomenon of friendship in its many forms through innovative and provocative fiction, poetry, and essays by writers of every ilk.
