| "...explodes with piercing insight ...illuminating the dangerous dance between victims and saviors." Melanie Rae Thon |
| "Suzanne Rivecca is a wonderfully lively and fearless new writer." Lorrie Moore |
A bold, dazzling debut collection about girls and women in a world where sexuality and self-delusion collide. A teacher obsesses over a student who comes to class with scratch marks on his face; a Catholic girl graduating from high school finds a warped kind of redemption in her school's contrived class rituals; a woman looking to rent a house is sucked into a strangely inappropriate correspondence with her landlord - these are just a few of the powerful plotlines in Suzanne Rivecca's gorgeously wrought debut collection. From a college student who adopts a false hippie persona to find love to a young memoirist who bumps up against a sexually obsessed fan, the characters in these fiercely original tales grapple with what it means to be honest with themselves and the world.
