OTHER PEOPLE’S MAIL
Edited by Gail Pool
University of Missouri Press, 275 pages, $16.95 paper
`Other People’s Mail,” an anthology of short stories told in the form of characters’ letters, shows the way a plot may emerge in salutations and asides, revisions and postscripts. In Gail Godwin’s “False Lights,” a man’s current wife corresponds with his former wife. Though the man, the subject of their letters, remains offstage, he becomes a dramatic presence.
