Description
Previously published in literary journals, and here collected for the first time, these stories grapple with important questions about how to live, and the answers are always surprising, defiant and true. Her compressed, kinetic prose is counterpointed by an elegiac strain, and her piercing observations go straight to the heart.
Fiction.
