`The writer who saved my life - or my soul.' Merve Emre,�The New Yorker`A true living hero of the American avant-garde.' Jonathan Franzen`One of the very few contemporary prose writers who seem to be doing something independent, energetic, heartfelt.' Lydia DavisA new collection of stories from the `godmother of flash fiction' (The Paris Review). In Williams' stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life. In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.
