Be prepared to be surprised, shocked but most of all moved...


Book Description
NeWest Press presents twenty-five years of Candas Jane Dorsey's mainstream and slipstream short fiction. These polished gems lay bare and minutely examine individuals' relationships to themselves, each other, and the landscape through which they move-- a landscape that is at once powerful, strange and peculiarly familiar. In sharp contrast to the raw and sometimes harsh realities depicted, Dorsey's stories are couched in beautiful, lucent language that is cumulatively lyrical and relentless.
