About the Author: Deborah Levy writes fiction, plays, and poetry.
Levy\'s Stories will send you tumbling into a rabbit hole, and you won\'t be able to scramble out until long after you\'ve turned the last page.
These are twenty-first century lives dissected with razor-sharp humor and curiosity.
A deformed man seeks beauty amid his angst in the title story.
An icy woman seduces a broken man in "Vienna," and a man\'s empathy threatens to destroy him in "Stardust Nation." "Cave Girl" features a girl who wants to be a different kind of woman--she succeeds in a shocking way.
In "Shining a Light," a woman\'s lost luggage is juxtaposed with far more serious losses.
She is a master of the short story, exploring loneliness and belonging; violence and tenderness; the ephemeral and the solid; the grotesque and the beautiful; love and infidelity; and fluid identities national, cultural, and personal.
