Mona Simpson - Off Keck Road - Mona Simpson writes about two women--one poor, one wealthy--in a Wisconsin town, as they move from girlhood in the 1950s to old age after the turn of the 21st century. What binds them together is their relationship with a man who is the employer (and unrequited longtime crush) of one, and the fleeting lover of the other. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.

| Professional Reviews | New York Times: "...OFF KECK ROAD showcases the gifts of emotional sympathy and psychological observation that Ms. Simpson used to such enormous effect in ANYWHERE BUT HERE and THE LOST FATHER. In fewer than 200 pages it gives us the shape and texture of two entire lives as well as a dozen cameo portraits of the friends and relatives and acquaintances who make up these two women's intersecting worlds....[It] leaves us with a melancholy sense of time and flux and loss." |

| Publisher's Note | Bea Maxwell remembered the first time she'd driven out to see the new part of town. It was 1956 and she was home from college for the winter break. |
