Summary

"Noy Holland is one of America's great writers, and each of her previous collections has been greeted with wide acclaim.

Following the wonderful reception of her first novel, Bird, which Counterpoint published last year, we are proud to offer a gathering of 48 stories, 17 from her previous collections and 25 never before published in book form"--, Provided by publisher
