This eagerly awaited book seethes with alienation, lust and rage. It's even more daring and accomplished than Bomer's first collection, which Jonathan Franzen described as "like being attacked by a rabid dog-- and feeling grateful for it. This is some of the rawest and most urgent writing I can remember encountering.""-- |cProvided by publisher 650 0 Short stories 655 7 Noveller|2saogf 907 00 180130
