A masterful short story collection full of dark humor, laying bare the challenges of parenting, marriage, and being a woman in the world. These stories are hilarious and quietly devastating. The women in these stories feel real, messy, and wholly themselves. In the opening story, “After Pangaea,” a hapless dad becomes something of a blogger/parenting expert/cult leader as his wife looks on, baffled and left to shoulder the lonely work of mothering alone. Other stories, such as “The Pregnancy Game” confront more overtly chilling truths about the political implications of being a woman in the world and the lack of bodily rights. These stories shine with their openness and their willingness to pose difficult questions without spoon-feeding answers.
The fourteen spellbinding stories in Michelle Ross's second collection invite readers into the shadows of social-media perfectionism and the relentless cult of motherhood. A recovering alcoholic navigates the social landscape of a toddler playdate; a mother of two camps out in a van to secure her son's spot at a prestigious kindergarten; a young girl forces her friends to play an elaborate, unwinnable game. With unflinching honesty and vivid, lyric prose, Ross explores the familial ties that bind us together-or, sometimes, tear us apart.
