Staff Writer Jacob V. Lamar Jr., who wrote the story and was assisted by Reporter-Researchers David Ellis and Jeannie Park, says the subject had particular significance for him. "I was reminded that I was fortunate to grow up in a two-parent home and have access to a good education," notes Lamar, who joined TIME 3 1/2 years ago after graduating from Harvard with a major in history and literature.

Unlike contemporaries like John Cheever and Eudora Welty, Morris has not devoted the bulk of his attention to a particular social class or geographic area. His principal characters may be anything from janitors to college professors, and his settings range from Vienna to Brooklyn to Missouri to Northern California, with numerous points in between.
