Anatomies Summary
|
In this beautifully crafted collection of stories and a novella, Anndee Hochman examines loss, faith, and love, and explores the complex anatomies of human relationships. Her tales are peopled by a brilliant assortment of characters, many of them adolescent girls and young women, all on the verge of discovering their roles in the world. A woman with an eating disorder learns a family legend that sheds light on her own obsession. A teenage girl who can't stop weeping becomes a hired crier in a funeral home. A performance artist, who paints his body silver and dances outside of a Miami marina, scans the crowd each night in search of a familiar face. Smart, fresh, and vivid, Anatomies marks the fiction debut of a gifted new writer.
"This book is a musical album of people who come from an unusually perceptive and compassionate heart." ELIZABETH SWADOS, AUTHOR OF THE FOUR OF US AND FLAMBOYANT "Anndee Hochman's short stories offer a good old-fashioned narrative satisfaction.... Her sense of the way individual loss fits into the larger tapestry of human relationships combines helplessness and comfort in a way that is both haunting and reassuring." "A collection of stories to savor, full of loss, awakening , and hope."
