‘The writer who saved my life — or my soul.’ Merve Emre, The New Yorker‘A true living hero of the American avant-garde.’ Jonathan Franzen‘One of the very few contemporary prose writers who seem to be doing something independent, energetic, heartfelt.’ Lydia DavisA new collection of stories from the ‘godmother of flash fiction’ (The Paris Review).

In Williams’ stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life.

In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.
