Synopsis:‍ ‍Morals Have Aesthetic Criteria is a collection of darkly comic stories about desire, vanity, loneliness, privilege, sex, and the elaborate lies people tell themselves to remain respectable.

A plastic surgeon whose patients believe he has given them pieces of his soul. An anxious morning in Silicon Valley. Complicated encounters on Fire Island. Failing relationships, questionable moral decisions, and people who mistake their worst instincts for sophisticated judgment.

Moving between the absurd and the unexpectedly tender, these stories examine human behavior with an inconvenient proposition: morality is rarely as attractive as the people who claim to possess it.
