Mazo, born in New York, wrote "A Rose by Any Other Name" in Los Angeles and published it from Minneapolis, where none of it takes place. The twenty-six short stories that comprise the collection take place at that crossroads where lovers meet, bisect, dissect each other. Mazo, fresh from appearances in the Mid-West and LA, will read three of his tales in his native accent. Roses and red wine: New York is all right if you like trombone… estimated runtime: 42 minutes
