In addition to Allison's classic stories, this new edition of <i>Trash</i> features "Stubborn Girls and Mean Stories," an introduction in which Allison discusses the writing of <i>Trash</i> and "Compassion," a never-before-published short story. First published in 1988, the award-winning <i>Trash</i> showcases Allison at her most fearlessly honest and startlingly vivid. The limitless scope of human emotion and experience are depicted in stories that give aching and eloquent voice to the terrible wounds we inflict on those closest to us. These are tales of loss and redemption; of shame and forgiveness; of love and abuse and the healing power of storytelling. A book that resonates with uncompromising candor and incandescence, <i>Trash</i> is sure to captivate Allison's legion of readers and win her a devoted new following. 1230570 1988 Trash total:981|5:340|4:369|3:219|2:49|1:4| 981 3935 1337 67 5 5 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Tue Dec 16 09:34:14 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 12:53:43 -0800 2008 4 1 false false Thu Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 17 22:37:25 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 17 22:37:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Sep 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 07:21:29 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 08:19:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Dec 23 09:12:11 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 23 09:23:28 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 29 05:30:28 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 05:30:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Mar 04 12:46:29 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 11:43:29 -0700 2009 Enroute to Bastard

Highly graphic, audacious and twisted, this book of short stories is the precursor to Bastard out of Carolina. Although I didn't enjoy Trash nearly as much as Bastard, I did favour Don't Tell Me You Don't Know and I'm Working On My Charm.
