Just twenty-three, he was hailed as a prodigy of sorts: \"remarkably gifted\" (\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e), with \"a genius for empathy\" (\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) and \"a knowledge of others' lives . . . that a writer twice his age might envy\" (\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e). \"Regardless of age,\" wrote the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \"few writers so effortlessly achieve the sense of maturity and earned compassion so evident in these pages.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \"Territory,\" a well-intentioned, liberal mother, presiding over her local Parents of Lesbians and Gays chapter, finds her acceptance of her son's sexuality shaken when he arrives home with a lover. In the title story, a family extended through divorce and remarriage dances together at the end of a summer party-in the recognition that they are still bound by the very forces that split them apart.
