It Was An Ugly Couch Anyway by Elizabeth Passarella

 

The stories deals with what life throws at you and in this case a nine foot monstrosity of a couch which Elizabeth hadn’t the heart to throw away. She kept the fabric. She threw out the couch.

Not a very easy read, the stories highlight the choices one has to make throughout your life. There is a slight religious overtone which did not offend me, but it may others. The importance of letting go highlighted here, the very insidious attachment that one develops to inanimate objects too. There was manipulation too in trying to get the coveted larger apartment in NYC which was not very nice reading too!
