Both Ways Is The Only Way I Want It

A love-struck young ranch hand, an aging Argentine lover, a trusted confidante who isn't a friend and two hitchhikers named Bonnie and Clyde.

Caught between opposing forces—fidelity and desire, impulse and security, innocence and experience—Meloy's unforgettable characters have each reached a fork in the road. But what kind of fool wants it only one way?

These eleven stories are funny, sly and sparkling with energy. Both ways is the only way I want it is a joyous read.
