Publisher Description
A collection of "uncommonly good stories" (The Chicago Tribune) from a true American master of the short story—disturbing, comic, and moving takes that find deeper meanings in ordinary domestic life.
With unforgettable characters, places, and events—a young divorcee, a shared summer home, a troubled family, a wedding, the death of a pet—Williams takes her readers on journey after journey, as only she can.

Stories that move to their own rhythm
Joy Williams writes stories unlike anyone else. The stories are driven by characters who are quirky, typically unhappy, baffled by life and events, and usually need alcohol to get through the day. You have to read these stories carefully. What the characters think and say is so off beat, so bizarre sometimes. Williams’ writing is direct and unemotional.
