"This is exactly the kind of strange fiction that I love. It was funny, but also mildly disturbing and very awkward at times. Folk knew her main character Linda very well, and was able to tell her story with intimacy and skill. The core of the plot is"

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”

Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid.”
