Curious Affairs

The women at the center of these stories are by turns joyful, bitter, filled with wonder, worn down, acutely self-aware, and often deeply in need of perspective. Brushes with the surreal prompt them to examine stale or faltering lives. Light in tone, with turns of unexpectedly sharp wit, these stories are at times chilling—and often revelatory.
