Meloy is an expert on loneliness, showing us how people find it and why they stay with it. In "Travis, B," a battered cowboy acts out a romantic fantasy only to find he has no idea how to meld it with reality. Meloy also mines relationships for their own facets of loneliness, most often spawned by distrust. In one brisk, scathing story, "Two-Step," we observe a philandering husband from the perspective of his mistress, who thinks she is clear-eyed ("He was acting like the man he wanted to be, in hopes that he could become...
...field of research, the quest for a unified theory, is no stranger to uncertainty. A unified theory seeks to meld Einstein’s theory of gravity, a framework that’s relevant when things are large, with quantum mechanics, a body of laws that come into play when things are small. We’ve known for half a century that each of these models works well in its own domain, but each also proclaims that the other is defective.

...close and personal feel of “Adam,” but it is tastefully muted. The painting is huge, the figures of the women are huge, the colors are huge, and yet in this piece, Wein utilizes a sense of restraint that allows his brush-strokes to meld together rather than drown in each other. In “Albert Wein: American Modernist,” the artist’s versatility, not only in the media he chose but also in the style of the images he presented, comes to the forefront. At his best, Wein manages...
