The stories in White Walls are set in a variety of locations, from New York City to the Italian countryside. They feature a diverse cast of characters, including artists, writers, musicians, and academics. Despite their different backgrounds, these characters are all united by their search for meaning and connection.

One of the most striking things about Prose's stories is her ability to capture the nuances of human relationships. She writes about love, loss, betrayal, and forgiveness with honesty and compassion. Her stories are often bittersweet, but they always leave the reader with a sense of hope.

In addition to her exploration of human relationships, Prose also writes about the power of art. In several of her stories, art plays a central role in the lives of the characters. Art can be a source of beauty, inspiration, and solace. It can also be a way to connect with others and to make sense of the world.

White Walls is a stunning collection of short stories that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Prose is a master of her craft, and her stories are a testament to the power of literature to move, inspire, and enlighten.
