In Fun with Problems, Robert Stone demonstrates once again that he is "one of our greatest living writers" (Los Angeles Times). The stories in this new collection share the signature blend of longing, violence, and black humor with which Stone illuminates the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are laid bare with remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a screenwriter carries on a decades-long affair with a beautiful actress, whose descent into addiction he can neither turn from nor share; a bored husband picks up a mysterious woman only to find that his ego has led him woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon Valley executive receives an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the hills; a scuba dive takes uneasy newlyweds to a point of no return. Fun with Problems showcases Stone's great gift: to pinpoint and make real the impulses--by turns violently coercive and quietly seductive--that cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray our truest selves.

Great suit!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy With Blue
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Mage Male dress suit. The material feels very soft with a velvet-like texture that makes the entire outfit pop without being over the top. This suit is perfect for prom, weddings, or any event where you want to elevate your look a bit. Sizing was accurate for me, so make sure you follow the size chart closely. I recommend picking up an inexpensive tape measure here on Amazon to double-check your measurements — it makes a difference. For the price, this suit is absolutely worth it and I’d buy it again.

Looks great. Size ok.
Overall looks great. The fit was good other than the pants were a little too long and the adjustable bow tie strap was a little to short. I'm 5'9.5" and 170lbs with longer than average limbs for a comparison.

Great feel good suit
Size: Large, Color: Red With Goden
My husband looked so good in this. The color was popping. The size was true to fit and he’s very tall. Feels so soft and didn’t wrinkle at all. Very good material and fabric. Cheaper than I thought
