Nancy Zafris is a critically acclaimed writer because of the highly
distinctive, piercing intelligence that underlies her works. Her
gifts accumulate in a vision that somehow combines just the right
amount of irony, subtle humor, and compassion for characters you
won't see anywhere else in contemporary fiction. Those characters
are emotionally all over the map too: resolute, sympathetic, and
indelible-their stories can be laugh-out-loud funny one minute and
bittersweet the next. In The Home Jar, Zafris reconfirms herself to
be among the keenest observers of the human condition around. This
is her first short story collection since the critically acclaimed
The People I Know, which won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short
Fiction, and her most famous work, the New York Times notable novel
The Metal Shredders. Zafris's very loyal following of readers will
herald The Home Jar as a major event in American letters.
