The Best of Joseph Cowley

About the Book

Here is Joseph Cowley at his best: Once More With Feeling: the touching story of an old man seeking a lost love after his wife dies; The Chrysanthemum Garden: a sensitive and moving novel about finding love later in life; Another Great Day: a novella about a man on a "lost weekend" at the moment his life is coming unraveled; He Says, She Says: the story of an unemployed writer and beautiful married woman who meet in Alcoholics Anonymous and fall in love, and the lesson it teaches them; and The Stargazers, a wonderful play about the conflict between the astronomers, Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler, as they struggled to find the secret of the solar system.
