The best-selling author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Wedding cake comes back with a wondrous assortment of dreamy, weird, and magical testimonies. Truly beloved by listeners and critics similarly, Aimee Bender is becoming known as something of your enchantress whose lush prose is "moving, fanciful, and gorgeously weird" (People), "richly thought and bittersweet" (Vanity Good), and "filled with provocative ideas" (The Boston World). In her deft hands, "interactions and mundane activities take on mythic features" (The Wall Street Journal). In this particular collection, Bender's unique abilities sparkle brilliantly in testimonies about folks searching for connection through love, intimacy, and family - while navigating the often unpleasant realities of their lives. A traumatic event unfolds whenever a girl with streaming hair of golden wheat appears in an apple orchard, where a group of folks await her. A woman plays out a prostitution illusion with her man and detects she cannot go back to her old intimacy life. An unattractive woman marries an ogre and battles to choose if she should stick with him after he mistakenly eats their children. Two sisters travel deep into Malaysia, where one learns the fine art of mending tigers who've been ripped to shreds. In these deeply resonant testimonies - evocative, funny, beautiful, and miserable - we see ourselves reflected as though in a funhouse mirror. Aimee Bender has once again proven herself to be among the most imaginative, fascinating, and intelligent authors of the time.
