About The Achieve of, the Mastery of the Thing

In this short story from Laurie Colwin’s The Lone Pilgrim, the perpetually stoned young wife of a popular college professor struggles to tell her husband that she’s been high since the day they met.

Told with Colwin’s unique humor and incisive characterization, this is a story about friendship within a marriage and outside of it. A Vintage Short.
