This book contains two very different short novels by playwright and author Stephen Evans. In The Marriage Gift, a quest to find the perfect wedding gift for a mysterious cousin leads a Minneapolis couple to question their own ideas and ideals regarding marriage. In Paradox, a writer experiences the mysterious connection between memory and imagination. "The first is maybe the funniest story I have written. The second is maybe the oddest - a contemporary coming of age story that morphs into an Arthurian romance." Stephen Evans
