About This Book

A first-person narrator recounts a lifelong rivalry with a childhood friend that led to the friend marrying the woman the narrator courted. Returning years later, the narrator nurtures a blend of amusement and grudging pity while plotting payback, convinced that a forthcoming temporal change will bring him face to face with the man who took his place. The story mixes remembered campus competition, social humiliation, and domestic awkwardness with a speculative premise about time and identity, using wry, ironic narration to explore jealousy, rivalry, and the desire for poetic retribution.
