Drastic: Stories

Начало книги

I am extremely grateful for the inspiration, encouragement, and thoughtful editing I received while writing these stories. It would be impossible to list everyone who helped me in these regards, but I am especially thankful to Jane Barnes, Katie Brandi, Annie Brickhouse, Clare, John, Julia, Nell, and Rosamond Casey, Jeremy Chatzky, Meaghan Dowling, Alex Draper, Jesse Drucker, Elizabeth Evans, Sherry Fairchok, Julia Greenberg, Bob Perry, Timothy Schaffert, Robbie Dale Smith, Lorraine Tobias, Meredith Tucker, the University of Arizona MFA program, and Vermont Studio Center. Finally, my deepest thanks to two extraordinarily gifted friends — my editor, Kelli Martin, and my agent, Alice Tasman — without whom I would be a full-time temp.

Six of these stories were originally published in slightly different form in the following:

Beloit Fiction Journal: “Indulgence”; Confrontation: “Talk Show Lady; The Georgia Review: “Days at Home”; The Gettysburg Review: “Seaworthy”; Prairie Schooner: “Trespassing”; The Threepenny Review: “Dirt.”
