The Series

One Man, Twelve Romances

His mother read the stars the way his father read books. He is Cancer — the still point at the center of it all. Around him, twelve women, one beneath every sign of the zodiac. One of them, a Cancer like him. Each is a chapter; each book, a sign. Three are written; the map is still being drawn.
