Dana Spiotta - "Jelly and Jack"

A woman uses the telephone to call semi strangers (friends of her friends) and, slowly connecting more and more to them, or rather, making them connect more and more to her, feels herself beautiful while on the phone, forgets her middle aged, overweight body, feels loved and wanted without every really lying (too much).

Amazing story telling. The mix of her thoughts, her wishes and desires, and the actual conversations, is amazing.
