  <description>
    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Wildly acclaimed in Canada, this book, published there by Anansi, marks the debut of a remarkable young writer, first published by McSweeney's when she was twenty-three and living at home with her dad and brother. The Middle Stories is a strikingly original collection of stories, fables, and short brutalities that are alternately heartwarming, cruel, and hilarious.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, I added two stars and erased my old review. I actually did an enlightening exercise: I tried imitating the stories myself. They're still not the kind of thing I like, and feel like they rang untrue much of the time, but... there is more here than first meets the eye.]]></body>
