Drawing on his cross-cultural inheritance, this is the author's second collection of short stories, about various types of love which bind families together. Completed after Davies moved to the U.S. in 1992, a process revelatory both of a satirical streak and of a subtle shift to American perspectives in stories such as 'How to Be an Expatriate,' and 'Everything You Can Remember in 30 Seconds Is Yours to Keep'. "I read Equal Love with great admiration. Davies's variations on a theme are brilliant." –Penelope Fitzgerald
