HORIZONTAL WOMAN
She has good thighs, good breasts, a striking if somewhat affected face — she knows all of this because she has been told so by clients many times — but she knows what they can never tell her: that her best feature is her compassion and she wears it like armor through all the streets… Elizabeth Moore is a social worker. Her supervisor, Oved, is trying to train her to be a dedicated investigator. After all, her job is to protect the city and reduce public assistance. But Elizabeth has another mission, to help her clients with their self-esteem. She is a caseworker who takes her caseloads very seriously indeed. The trouble is that so many people need her. But how can she explain to her boss that the kind of therapy she provides her clients can only be offered in bed?
