		Mona Simpson pushes the envelope of simple observations without becoming banal.
		Simpson's Jamesian exploration of men and women who should become lovers, but don't, is well suited to the brevity of the novella's form.
		If the book were any longer, the pleasure of Simpson's simple observation of, say, how exotic a liverwurst sandwich with the crusts cut off can seem to an unworldly Wisconsonian would need to be supplemented by melodrama or kinky sex.
