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. Juggling her housewifish duties with her daily hours spent with her close friend and dealer, she does her best not to rock the boat too hard. 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.
