The audacious, savagely funny debut of a writer of razor-sharp wit and surprising tenderness: a collection of stories that gives us a fresh take on adolescence, death, sex; on being Jewish-ish; and on finding one s way as a young woman in the world.
A New Yorker, trying not to be jaded, accompanies a cash-strapped pot grower to a clothing optional resort in California. A nerdy high-schooler has her first sexual experience at Geology Camp. A college student, on the night of her father s funeral, watches a video of her bat mitzvah, hypnotized by the image of the girl she used to be . . .
Frank and irreverent, Rebecca Schiff s stories offer a singular view of growing up (or not) and finding love (or not) in today s ever-uncertain landscape. In its bone-dry humor, its pithy observations, and its thrilling ability to unmask the most revealing moments of human interaction no matter how fleeting "The Bed Moved" announces a new talent to be reckoned with."
