Jason the Sailor

by Diane Wakoski

Overview

Great expectations developed from Hollywood movie dreams (“imagining our lives, instead of living them”) are inevitably shattered by disappointing and betraying real-life relationships. The bittersweet and ironic evocations of the failed loves of her life make this among the most moving, as well as revealing, of Ms. Wakoski’s books.
