This year Rikki Ducornet is being presented with a lifetime
achievement award by the American Academy of Arts and Letters for
her beloved work as a novelist and essayist, but perhaps most of
all for her work as a writer of short stories. In the tradition of
Italo Calvino, Donald Barthelme, and Angela Carter, Ducornet
creates modernday fables filled with characters as complex and
surprising as any in American short fiction. This landmark
collection of new stories is generously illustrated by T. Motley,
whose gritty, fantastical cartooning explores the same post-magical
realism that has been the subject of Ducornet's distinguished
career.
