Today's literary installment...

The characters whose lives are loosely connected in Stephanie Reents’s first story collection, “The Kissing List,” wade waist-deep through the muck of uncertainty that awaits college women after graduation.  In Reents’s account, to be 20-something and in the city is to wander a purgatorial landscape of postgraduate inertia, premarital indecision and proto-careerist yearning.  Reents’s characters are as sharp as they are sly, as intellectually brilliant as they are oddball.  See full review:  ‘The Kissing List,’ by Stephanie Reents - NYTimes.com
