  <description><![CDATA[If anything's going to save the characters in Amelia Gray's debut from their troubled romances, their social improprieties, or their hands turning into claws, it's a John Mayer concert tee. In <em>AM/PM,</em> impish humor and cutting insight are on full display. Readers tour the lives of 23 characters across 120 stories full of lizard tails, Schrödinger boxes, and volcano love. June wakes up one morning covered in seeds; Leonard falls in love with a chaise lounge; Betty insists everything except flowers are a symbol of her love for her husband; Andrew talks to his house in times of crisis. Written every morning and night for two months, these brief vignettes (50 to 100 words) recall Donald Barthelme in their whimsy and subtle yet powerful emotions. An intermittent love story as seen through a darkly comic lens, <em>AM/PM</em> mixes poetry and prose, humor and hubris to create a truly original work of fiction.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[If anything's going to save the characters in Amelia Gray's debut from their troubled romances, their social improprieties, or their hands turning into claws, it's a John Mayer concert tee. In <em>AM/PM,</em> impish humor and cutting insight are on full display. Readers tour the lives of 23 characters across 120 stories full of lizard tails, Schrödinger boxes, and volcano love. June wakes up one morning covered in seeds; Leonard falls in love with a chaise lounge; Betty insists everything except flowers are a symbol of her love for her husband; Andrew talks to his house in times of crisis. Written every morning and night for two months, these brief vignettes (50 to 100 words) recall Donald Barthelme in their whimsy and subtle yet powerful emotions. An intermittent love story as seen through a darkly comic lens, <em>AM/PM</em> mixes poetry and prose, humor and hubris to create a truly original work of fiction.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I give this book 4.2 stars, perhaps 5... perhaps one. not really it is a very good book. I feel the same as liz prince. It should be left next to a pillow and periodically a random story should be read. <br/><br/>it is not quite as touching as liz prince, but it has something else going for it... ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56825465">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[If anything's going to save the characters in Amelia Gray's debut from their troubled romances, their social improprieties, or their hands turning into claws, it's a John Mayer concert tee. In <em>AM/PM,</em> impish humor and cutting insight are on full display. Readers tour the lives of 23 characters across 120 stories full of lizard tails, Schrödinger boxes, and volcano love. June wakes up one morning covered in seeds; Leonard falls in love with a chaise lounge; Betty insists everything except flowers are a symbol of her love for her husband; Andrew talks to his house in times of crisis. Written every morning and night for two months, these brief vignettes (50 to 100 words) recall Donald Barthelme in their whimsy and subtle yet powerful emotions. An intermittent love story as seen through a darkly comic lens, <em>AM/PM</em> mixes poetry and prose, humor and hubris to create a truly original work of fiction.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Each flash fiction is less than a page, but somehow Amelia Gray's stories say much more. <em>AM/PM</em> is at its best when the flashes focus on the recurring characters. While I wish the stories had titles, they work without them.
