"Grodstein captures the uncertain nuances of the mating game in her impressive debut collection. Her quirky voice and sassy, ironic humor make these stories come alive."

Reseña del editor

The acclaimed first book by the author of the much anticipated new novel, Reproduction Is the Flaw of Love. This highly affecting debut story collection stars a cast of young men and women frozen in the headlights of oncoming adulthood. In nimble prose, Lauren Grodstein treats moments of human vulnerability with a smart mix of irony and compassion. Whether halfheartedly consolingand then fondlinga drunken friend after a breakup ("Lonely Planet") or trying to fill a dead mother's shoes at a father's birthday dinner ("Satellites or Airplanes"), the protagonists of these ten tales rarely say exactly what they mean or know exactly how they feel. Each has a propensity for social insecurity to which we can all relate, as we can to the public blunders and private triumphs that comprise their lives.
