So Late in the Day: Stories of Women and Men

Just because a man behaves like a man, he’s not a misogynist. Sabine is romanticizing who she wants him to be, not accepting/loving him for who he is. I’m missing what the hype is about.

So Late in the Day is a collection of three short stories featuring flawed, often relatable, characters. They are about the relationships of men and women and the consequences of the choices we make. The first story shares its title with the book. Gender dynamics play a big role in this tale of a man whose own selfishness and poor behavior put him in his current situation. “That was part of the trouble: the fact that she would not listen, and wanted to do a good half of things her own way.” The Long and Painful Death centers around a "writer in residence” living in a home donated to the writing program allowing writers to work without distractions. Burdened by her own expectations, many things distract the writer until, a strange man comes by claiming to be interested in the house. In Antarctica, a wife and mother is curious to know what sex with another man might be like. While away for a weekend she meets a man, they share dinner and drinks and spend some time together. When it is time for her to leave, this stranger becomes very possessive of her and doesn’t want her to go. All three stories are compelling and leave you wanting more. The subjects are weighty and the book lays bare the flaws of humankind. Keegan’s thought provoking content mix perfectly with her beautiful lyrical writing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
