Beschreibung:
Heidi Bell is an award-winning writer and editor. Her short fiction has appeared in many literary publications, including Crazyhorse, New England Review, The Good Men Project, the Chicago Reader, Southeast Review, and Seattle Review, where she won the Bentley Prize for Fiction. She is the recipient of two Illinois Arts Council Fellowships in Literature. She lives in Aurora, Illinois.
Two sisters play an unsettling game; a child witnesses a casually violent neighborhood ritual; an up-and-coming young professional is disturbed by the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings; a woman's ideal life unfolds in the pages of a mail-order catalog. The Midwestern men and women, girls and boys who populate Signs of the Imminent Apocalypse and Other Stories are united by a yearning-for answers or simply for relief-that is often twisted by their baser impulses. With lyricism, humor both dark and playful, and brutal clarity, Heidi Bell approaches reality sideways in her sensational debut collection.
