Undertow: Short Stories

by Virginia Dansereau

Undertow is a debut collection of powerful short stories from a writer whose voice is confident and practiced. The stories contain Virginia Dansereau's subtle and various approaches to the notion of portraiture in fiction. Over and over again, the reader is drawn into the lives of a series of characters who struggle to both live out and understand the depths of her or his life. Dansereau's vision is full of the texture of contemporary life and the dazzling and sometimes sudden beauty of the 'ordinary.'
