Jacket Weather - Mike Decapite

Mike knew June in New York''s downtown music scene in the eighties. Back then, he thought she was ''the living night - all the glamour and potential of a New York night when you''re 25.'' Now he''s twice divorced and happy to be alone - so happy he''s writing a book about it. Then he meets June again. Told in fragments of narrative, reveries, recipes, bits of conversation and snatches of weather, the book collapses a decade in Mike and June''s life and shifts a reader to a glowing nostalgia for the present.
