Aurelie Sheehan, the director of the creative writing program at the University of Arizona, has received a Pushcart Prize, a Camargo Fellowship, and the Jack Kerouac Literary Award.
-- First paperback edition.-- A collection of fifteen stories which chronicle the lives of women trying to break out of imposed roles -- from prostitute to tarot card reader to wealthy widow. Here are the dreams of misplaced waitresses, the survival techniques of secretaries too smart to take orders.-- Insightful and often bitingly funny, Sheehan's stories are poetically layered and contrasted, offering glimpses of the world these women inhabit as seen through a kaleidoscope -- each shift creating new impressions.-- Originally published by Dalkey Archive (1994).
