Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Queen of Gonzo Leslie] What drags love out of its gooey, schmaltzy rut and takes it for a joyride in this exuberant collection of 17 stories...No matter how brief or long, no matter how bizarre, each tale in this collection grabs readers and demands they rethink how they see all the myriad forms of love. - Publisher's Weekly Starred Review CRAZY LOVE is crazy good Leslie What's brain is evidently crowded with strangeness, awfulness, wonderfulness, wildness, madness of all kinds...and love. Lots of love. How lucky we are that her imagination runs deep, runs true, runs onto the page in crazily beautiful stories-and lucky, so very lucky, to be holding those stories right now in our hands. - Molly Gloss, author of Dazzle of Day and Heart of Horses If unbearable guilt makes you wish to suffer vicariously, and professionally, for others; if you suddenly find yourself the father of thousands and thousands of children; if your ambition is to occupy the Chair of Hermit Studies at the University of Oregon, or to be a ghost in a hot-air balloon, or if you have considered wearing a gorilla mask while having an abortion - CRAZY LOVE is your operating manual. These seventeen achingly funny and hilariously sad stories will give you invaluable advice on how to love, how to be crazy, how to be human. - Ursula K. Le Guin, author of Lavinia and Annals of the Western Shore
Review:"'Queen of Gonzo' What (Olympic Games) drags love out of its gooey, schmaltzy rut and takes it for a joyride in this exuberant collection of 17 stories. 'Finger Talk' is a poignant take on unwanted pregnancy and cavalier men. 'Babies' gives a Kafkaesque touch to a pregnancy that may or may not have been affected by pesticides during the first trimester. 'All My Children' asks whether the provider of a sperm sample is legally responsible for the children that come from its use — and if he is, how does he pay for 10,000 college tuition fees? The 1999 Nebula-winning 'The Cost of Doing Business' posits possibly the most incredible premise in the book: a love for others that is completely selfless and nonjudgmental. No matter how brief or long, no matter how bizarre, each tale in this collection grabs readers and demands they rethink how they see all the myriad forms of love. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
