"In twenty-nine separate but ingenious ways, these stories seek
permanent residence within a reader. They strive to become an
emotional or intellectual cargo that might accompany us wherever,
or however, we go. . . . If we are made by what we read, if
language truly builds people into what they are, how they think,
the depth with which they feel, then these stories are, to me,
premium material for that construction project. You could build a
civilization with them." --Ben Marcus, from the Introduction
Award-winning author of Notable American Women" Ben Marcus brings
us this engaging and comprehensive collection of short stories that
explore the stylistic variety of the medium in America today.
