- Summary
- Joyce Carol Oates pulls out all the stops in this chilling female-centric noir collection featuring brand-new writing from Margaret Atwood, Aimee Bender, Edwidge Danticat, and more.
- The particular strength of the female noir vision isn't a recognizable style but rather a defiantly female, indeed feminist, perspective. In this collection of stories and poems, bad men are not always the victims but they get their due often enough to satisfy readers who are tired of the gendered status quo. From surreal to erotically playful, from deadpan to dark fairy-tale, they are as stylistically diverse as their authors. -- adapted from back cover and front flap
