| 520 | |a "From a ferocious new writer, a debut story collection excavating the desire, humor, and horror in the everyday lives of Black women and girls-for readers of Deesha Philyaw and Dantiel W. Moniz. Lydia Mathis is a stunning talent with a voice that vibrates on the page, and her sharply drawn, authentic characters shine a light on what we're willing to do to ourselves and to others in service of our desires. The madness in the ordinary rules here: an overworked college safety officer faces a bloody figure who has walked into her office; a sex worker meets a client enroute to a parent-teacher conference. These stories sometimes turn dark-a high school gossip ring turned bloody, a strange room of dolls in a frat house, a phantom chorus of women buried under a tree-and always, Mathis's unflinching prose skillfully depicts the fragility, strength, and unruliness of women's bodies. Visceral and unyielding, Desperate Bodies is a thrillingly dark ride that introduces Lydia Mathis as a major new writer"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
