"FANTASTIC WOMEN comprises eighteen stories by some of the most exciting contemporary women writers in the United States. [Includes Aimee Bender, Lydia Davis, Samantha Hunt, Miranda July, Kelly Link, Lydia Millet, Karen Russell, lots more] The daughters of Franz Kafka and Mary Shelley, the Brothers Grimm and Angela Carter, these inventive, insightful authors steep their narratives in a heady potion of surrealism and macabre black comedy. The result is wildly creative work that not only pushes the envelope but also folds realistic fiction into an origami dragon, transporting readers into worlds we've never seen before and capturing the truth about human nature." [publisher's copy] "Stories---subtly disturbing, ruthlessly brilliant---by eighteen top-of-the-trend writers."---Ursula K. Le Guin. "That the future is female is nowhere more thrillingly beholdable than in the dominion of literary fiction, where women writers' rejection of rote realism and received forms has cleared the way for visionary misadventure, soulful weirdness, and verbal outlandishments of the highest order. The page-by-page grit and shimmer of these stories, the unlidded imagination and teeming wisdom of these bold and unpredictable writers, reanimate our language and our literature. Here at last is an anthology that's all guts and all gusto, motioning forcibly toward the new world that all of us---women and men alike---had better know now or never."---Gary Lutz. Pristine ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
