A newlywed gazes upon the wreckage of the Titanic. A young woman
becomes the protege of a Parisian hotelier. An old woman meets an
angel in a ghost town. Underground Women is a compilation of short
stories by multitalented writer Jesse Lee Kercheval. The heart of
the volume is a reissue of narratives first published as the The
Dogeater, winner of the AWP Short Fiction Award in 1987. With
arresting imagery and heart-wrenching storylines, Kercheval's work
uses humor and imagination to weave together themes of loss,
dignity, tenacity and acceptance. These surreal and powerful
vignettes will resonate with readers today as much as they did when
first published.
