“Mary Caponegro’s short fiction is lyrical, comic, and above all, erotic....To read this book is to succumb to it—with the greatest pleasure.” —John Hawkes In these exquisite stores, Mary Caponegro is challenging the way we think about language, about sexuality, and even about thinking. She is one of a group of writers who have exploded the boundaries of the short story. Mary Caponegro is the winner of the General Electric Younger Writers Award and the 1991 Rome Prize for Literature.
