BOOK DESCRIPTION
A blazingly original, profoundly moving new work of fiction by a writer whose world�and imagination�knows no boundaries. �I don�t know what planet Judy Budnitz comes from,� said Newsweek on the publication of her fiction debut, Flying Leap, �but I�m happy to have her. Tremendous . . . funny, dark, adventurous, slanted, and enchanted.� These twelve astonishingly inventive stories�which take us into the heart of America and around the globe, from suburban backyards and swimming pools to war-torn streets and fallout shelters�are riveting, seductive, and impossible to forget.
In �Flush,� a mammogram prompts a dark comedy of blurred identities between a mother and her two adult daughters. In �Elephant and Boy,� a surrogate mother-and-son bond, tinged with the erotic, is formed when a philanthropist attempts to �civilize� a young elephant handler. �Nadia� sounds the depths of a young woman�s complex feelings toward a friend�s mail-order bride from Eastern Europe. �Preparedness��an Orwellian tale in Technicolor�imagines rapture in the wake of imminent apocalypse. And in �Where We Come From,� a pregnant woman�s many failed attempts to cross the border do not lessen her resolve to give birth on U.S. soil to a �nice big American baby.�
Magical, poignant, often transcendent, these are virtuoso modern fables that mine our stores of hidden urges, misunderstandings, and blind passions, inviting us on a voyage through places and times at once deeply familiar and wondrously strange.
