Synopsis

Diane Williams, "godmother of flash fiction" (The Paris Review), returns with thirty-three short, brilliant stories.

In Williams's 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.

The “crime” isthe murder of Boxer, the thieving boyfriend of our hero, Jinang’s girlfriend’s (Nancy) estranged mother (Sulin). Basically, Sulinis a washed up “ente......more
