This is the brilliant new collection of short stories by Rick Moody. Infused with a humane comic sense, these stories dig deep into American society and reveal the loss of connection that lurks under the surface.
Cast in many forms - domestic comedy, pseudo-fairytale, philosophical argument - these stories are linked by the themes of loss, pleasure, and the difficulty of expressing love. And always they are characterised by a humour and a vibrancy of language that is uniquely Moody's.
