terrific collection. Two of my all time favorite collection are Roupenian's You know you want this and Machado's Her body and other stories and this has immediately become the third. There are so many issues women face cleverly depicted in this book, in so many nuances and genre (erotic, dystopian, sci-fi, absurd). love it
