Days of Awe
The Manhattan fiction writer once observed that her
characters say "the things we don't want to say out loud." In this
exuberantly transgressive story collection, she skewers the vanities of the
Hamptons plastic-surgery set (among them, men addicted to injecting themselves
with Botox), a young Holocaust novelist's impostor syndrome, and a woman
institutionalized for sticking herself with rose thorns, then dreaming of "walking
on water."
— Leigh Haber
