"Him With His Foot in His Mouth," the title story, is basically a letter of apology, thirty-five years late, to a librarian. The author, old and in bad health, is hiding out in Canada as a result of some vague legal troubles. Years ago, he made a rude remark to the librarian, and seemingly has never forgiven himself for it. He reflects on his lifelong tendency to say rude things to people, and what might make him do it, inspiring pity that peaks with the conclusion of the letter.

"What Kind of Day Did You Have?" comes next. It's written from the point of view of a recently divorced woman having an affair with a much older academic man. He calls her and asks her to fly with him to a lecture. She's involved in a custody battle with her ex-husband and, although she has an court-appointed interview with a psychiatrist the same day, she agrees. A snow storm strands them in the airport, and she starts thinking about their relationship.

"Zetland: By a Character Witness" is the shortest story in the book, and probably my least favorite. It didn't really seem complete. It's about a young man who moves to New York to become a philosopher and has a somewhat disastrous life in a rundown apartment with a gypsy wife.

"A Silver Dish" is a completely heartbreaking tale of a man dealing with the recent death of his father. He reflects back to an event from his childhood - his father stealing a silver dish from a philanthropic widow who was paying for his education at seminary. It's a story about making the best of an imperfect relationship, and I suspect most people will be able to relate to it, since it perfectly communicates the frustration of loving a less-than-perfect parent.

"Cousins" is the final story, and it centers on an older man who looks after all of his cousins. One of them is in some kind of trouble with the mob, one is a genius desperate for greatness before he dies, and one is quite ill. His tender thoughts about his family are beautiful, especially when tied in with the end, when he has a startling epiphany about himself.
