You Are Having a Good Time
By Amie Barrodale
208 pages;
FSG Originals
An abusive film director and his starlet, a conniving mother and her laconic daughter, an alcoholic and the sociopath who calls him every night—these are the kinds of poisonous relationships best avoided in real life but greedily devoured in this wily and pleasingly claustrophobic short-story collection.
