| 520 | |a This book presents eight of the author's short stories. In "Bog Girl: A Romance," a story about first love, a young man falls in love with a two thousand year old girl that he's extracted from a mass of peat in a Northern European bog. In "The Prospectors," two opportunistic young women fleeing the Depression strike out for new territory, and find themselves fighting for their lives. In the title story, a new mother desperate to ensure her infant's safety strikes a diabolical deal, agreeing to breastfeed the devil in exchange for his protection. The landscape in which these stories unfold is a feral, slippery, purgatorial space, bracketed by the void - yet within it, the author captures the tenderness of ordinary life.--adapted from book jacket. | ||
| 520 | |a This collection of short fiction by Russel showcases her gifts of language and imagination. She creates outlandish predicaments that uncannily mirror our inner lives-- but places them in a landscape of feral, slippery, purgatorial spaces. -- adapted from jacket | ||
