Requests:  0 Summary:  "Cassandra may have seen the future, but it doesn't mean she's resigned to telling the Trojans everything she knows. In this ebullient collection, virgins escape from being sacrificed, witches refuse to be burned, whores aren't ashamed, and every woman gets a chance to be a radioactive cockroach warrior who snaps back at catcallers. Gwen E. Kirby experiments with found structures--a Yelp review, a WikiHow article--which her fierce, irreverent narrators push against, showing how creativity within an enclosed space undermines and deconstructs the constraints themselves. When these women tell the stories of their triumphs as well as their pain, they emerge as funny, angry, loud, horny, lonely, strong protagonists who refuse be secondary characters a moment longer. From "The Best and Only Whore of Cwm Hyfryd, 1886" to the "Midwestern Girl [who] is Tired of Appearing in Your Short Stories," Kirby is playing and laughing with the women who have come before her and they are telling her, we have always been this way. You just had to know where to look."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Kirby Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Kirby Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Kirby Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Kirby Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Fiction Kirby Checked In Add Copy to MyList
