Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this dazzling literary debut, Rebecca Curtis displays the gifts that make her one of the most talented writers of her generation. Her characters--young women struggling to find happiness, love, success, security, and adventure--wait tables, run away from home, fall for married men, betray their friends, and find themselves betrayed as well.</p><p>In Hungry Self, a young waitress descends into the basement of a seemingly ordinary Chinese restaurant; in Twenty Grand, a young wife tries to recover her lost fortune; in Monsters, one family's paranoia leads to a sacrifice; and in The Witches, an innocent swim on prom night proves more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With elegant prose and a wicked sense of humor, these stories reveal Curtis's provocative and uncompromising view of life, one that makes her writing so poignant and irresistible.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A book as delightful as it is disturbing."--Gary Shteyngart, author of Absurdistan<br><br>"An instant classic. . . . Rebecca Curtis is a hugely talented writer."--The Village Voice<br><br>"Gorgeous. . . . Vivid imagery suffused with longing: The stories in Rebecca Curtis' Twenty Grand are satisfingly bittersweet."--The Los Angeles Times<br><br>"Marvelous. . . . Delving into extremes of monotonous oppression, Curtis describes a reality that must be endured."--Publishers Weekly<br><br>"Rebecca Curtis is one of the most exciting practitioners of this most difficult form in America today."--George Saunders<br>
