10 for Everything (Paperback)

Rachel Kann has crafted an addictive parallel universe, where funky little worlds shift and shudder, and characters are deftly etched and blessed with her gleefully skewed perspective. The sharp lyricism of these stories, which practically beg to be read aloud, unmask Ms. Kann for the poet she is, and that unpredictability of language is nothing less than a revelation. These are stories that twist with no warning, shock you with their insight, and make your head hurt--in a good way. In a very, very good way.
