Her characters—flawed, brave, disarming, affectionate—inhabit the not-so-very-wide space between a good intention and a bad outcome. In “Alcatraz,” we meet a middle-school spelling champion who spends her afternoons taking baths with the boy next door. In “Almonds and Cherries,” a young woman turns an unexpectedly arousing bra-shopping experience into a short film, with ramifications for everyone around her. These surprising, provocative, and deeply resonant stories mark the emergence of a major new talent. 193683 2001 The Brutal Language of Love: Stories by total:106|5:24|4:32|3:36|2:11|1:3| 106 381 175 17 5547928 1416592717 9781416592716 6 2 3.59 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5547928.The_Brutal_Language_of_Love_Stories 3 1 false Wed Jan 28 09:53:07 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 15:30:30 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 09:53:07 -0800 2009
