The eleven beautifully crafted stories in Bad Kansas reveal the
complicated underbelly of the country's most flown-over state and
the quirky characters that call it home. In this darkly humorous
collection, Kansas becomes a state of mind as Mandelbaum's
characters struggle to define their relationship to home and what
it means to stay or leave, to hold on or let go. When a desperate
woman finds herself on a date with a rugged man she has nothing in
common with, she must decide whether to sacrifice the life of a
bear in order to keep the man's affection. After having a nightmare
about a mallard, a young man wakes to discover he's choking the
woman he loves. When his mother starts dating a slimy pizza parlor
owner, a young boy must choose whether to align with his
mischievous older brother or remain loyal to his mom. The deeply
appealing and peculiar characters in Bad Kansas are determined to
get what they want, be it love or sex or power, in a world intent
on denying them.
