Synopses & Reviews

Please note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.

Publisher Comments:

With an intelligence that scalds every pretense and surface, Lidia Yuknavitch's camera pans across subjects as varied as Keanu Reeves and Siberian prison laborers. She zooms in on drug addiction, crime, sex of all flavors, trauma, torture, rock and roll, and art, all the while revealing untried angles and alien shapes. She traces the inner lives of characters teetering on edges-death, birth, love, understanding-but never flinching at the spectacle of their violent descent. This collection represents a verbal cinematographer at her best as she captivates the reader with a prose style that is mesmerizing and fluid, deep and dangerous.

Review:

"One of Yuknavitch's primary talents is to make the deep, often hidden flaws of our culture — those toxic waste dumps — explosively manifest." Rain Taxi

Review:

"Yuknavitch's imaginative stories have a penchant for irony. They delve deep into a materialistic culture that is not just obsessed with itself, but obsessed with its obsessions." American Book Review

Review:

"Not since Kathy Acker has a woman writer scarred the page with such intelligence, horror, and wit." The Portland Review Literary Journal

Synopsis:

Short fictions that examine meaning through a cinematic lens.
