Suzanne Scanlon's Promising Young Women is a series of fragmentary tales that tell the story of Lizzie, a young woman who, in her early twenties, unexpectedly embarks on a journey through psychiatric institutions, a journey that will end up lasting many years. Space, a distinct and dramatic rendering of being-in-the-world. These stories offer not just a unique voice but a unique narrative Like the women in Jane Bowles's work, Cain's narrators seemĪlways slightly displaced in the midst of their own experiences,Ĭarefully observing the effects of themselves on their surroundings and Quiet and contemplative, at other times toward the grotesque or The space between action and reflection, edging at times toward the Bad things happen to both of them, but they stagger through, clinging to each other from a safe distance.Īmina Cain's Creature brings together short fictions set in His job soon takes them to Europe, where she discovers that her new husband is tougher, sneakier, more sincere, more contradictory, and smarter than she is-she’d naturally assumed this was impossible. Nell Zink's The Wallcreeper is a hilarious and uncompromising novel about a downwardly mobile secretary from Philadelphia who marries an ambitious pharmaceutical researcher in hopes that she will never work again. Join us for a very special reading from Dorothy, a publishing project dedicated to works of fiction or near fiction or about fiction, mostly by women.
