Synopsis

Collected Stories is about a respected short story writer and teacher in her mid-fifties, Ruth Steiner, who has carved out a comfortable life for herself in a Greenwich Village apartment that she has occupied for decades. Lisa Morrison is a callow yet talented young graduate student and aspiring writer, a child of suburban privilege when she meets Ruth and offers to become her assistant. Over six years, in as many scenes, Collected Stories eavesdrops on Ruth and Lisa as their relationship evolves (from mentor/protégée to loving friends to adversaries) and ultimately disintegrates-touching on age, artistic license and betrayal.
