Great Regulars: And in every story, she [Robin Black] creates

wonderful little images, sees symbols, double meanings, poetry everywhere. A woman in "Tableau Vivant" picks off her nail polish and the small piles of it are like "fancy-dress pencil shavings." Clara, of "Immortalizing," has several such moments: "A streetlight comes on. Clara waits to see how long it will take another to join it. A minute passes, two minutes. Nothing. They must have different levels of sensitivity, she thinks. They must believe different things about what darkness is."
