by Diane Williams (Author)
"In Williams' stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful, and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life. In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally bombastic wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility"--
