These stories about women and family are surreal and silly and tender and seriously fun to read. Barnes really is, as Kathy Fish has said, one of the best short-form writers working today.

Alissa’s Quotes

“…words have been all my life, all my life--this need is like the Spider's need who carries before her a huge Burden of Silk which she must spin out--the silk is her life, her home, her safety--her food and drink too--and if it is attacked or pulled down, why, what can she do but make more, spin afresh, design anew….”
― A.S. Byatt, Possession
