Romance
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. 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.
