In \u201cNot About Tahiti,\u201d a housewife who yearns to visit the South Seas cultivates a tropical paradise around her husband\u2019s recliner. In \u201cHarry Meets The Goddess,\u201d a divorced car salesman fantasizes about writing letters to Penthouse, but gets more than he ever dreamed of when a goddess named Lu materializes in the front seat of his Oldsmobile. In \u201cPossoons,\u201d a woman tries to make sense of the fact that her perfect lover left because he was too happy. And in \u201cRestoration,\u201d a painter who has been unable to touch brush to canvas since the death of his partner finds creative resurrection.
