Publisher's Note
Creating a world that rocks with laughter while bathing in tears, "Flight of Angels" features 20 hilarious new adventures by the National Book Award-winning author of "Victory Over Japan". NPR sponsorship.

Whether exploring a Los Angeles medical clinic that caters solely to hypochondriacs or the machinations of a large southern family that has gathered to attend its patriarch's death, Gilchrist's seeks - and finds - the human heart. Employing characters new and old, with her perfect ear and voice for the language and her perfect eye for foibles, Gilchrist has created a world that rocks with laughter while bathing in tears. It is a world in which, having discovered that their teenagers are using drugs, the adults chain their miscreants to an exercise machine and gather in the living room to decide how to save their children - and get bombed on martinis. It is a world in which one encounters divorces, abortion, avarice - in fact, all the deadly sins - and even a nuclear reactor run amok, and yet it is a world that retains hope and laughter.
