Add to basketA pristine book that has a deft two line gift inscription at top edge of front free endpaper, else fine. Ranging across a uniquely American landscape, from rural Idaho and suburban Arizona to downtown Boston, these eleven stories explore with painful lyricism the harsh awakenings of adolescence: eroticism and hypocrisy, love and violence, responsibility and guilt, adult inconstancy and the random cruelty of life and death. "Melanie Rae Thon belts out her short stories in a tone and style reminiscent of classic blues singers. The reader is swept along not only by Ms. Thon's remarkable characterizations but also by the taut, magic current of her prose, which carries an exhilarating rhythmic punch." -- The New York Times Book Review. Winner of a 1997 Whiting Writers'Award. One of Granta's "Best Young American Novelists".
