SORRY, THIS BOOK IS PERMANENTLY SOLD OUT.
(RockSaw Press, 2009)
A chapbook published by Jorge Evans, editor of RockSaw Press.
This chapbook contains two short stories: "Someone Like Me" and "Glimpses of Underthings."
Whom can a girl trust these days? Not a best friend, not a non-friend, maybe a boy who likes her and if not this one, will the next one do? GIRLS strikes a chord in the tune of lonely hearts: as an eight year old comes to see just how similar she is to an outcast and flirts with the line past which she herself will be relegated to total obscurity; and a fourteen year old wears her father’s girlfriend’s panties while flirting with just about everything, perfecting the insouciant tease.
The stories in this chapbook paint girlhood magenta and mauve. Like a three-day old bruise, Elizabeth and Agnes will mark your skin and ache there for a very long time.
