商品描述内容简介These sixteen stories by the much-celebrated Alix Ohlin illuminate the connections between all of us—connections we choose to break, those broken for us, and those we find and make in spite of ourselves.媒体推荐“Smart, satisfying, surprising stories. Ohlin has a big, calm, seductive talent.” —Joy Williams
“Ohlin has a marvelous will to explore and it’s clear that she’s in complete command of her art. These stories are smart, tough, deeply felt and beautifully delivered, without one wasted word. Signs and wonders, all right. I’ve seldom come upon a book so aptly titled for what’s inside, page to page.” —Richard Bausch
“Nothing short of marvelous. Olin writes like an Old Master, with confidence and clarity, a steady hand. She is immensely gifted, and every story here is a lucid chunk of reality—the flesh made word.” – Jay Parini
“With an emotional intelligence that is nearly telepathic and a great storyteller’s knack for riveting your attention from the opening line, Ohlin makes us understand that beneath everything that drives and distracts us there is, first and foremost, the struggle to love. She is a ferocious talent, a writer not only to watch but also to admire.” —Adam Ross
“I love the way Alix Ohlin’s stories teach us, with wit and tenderness, about those grown-up selves we don’t recognize; about the way our failures make us adults; and about how powerfully relieved we are to understand that, despite everything, our hearts can still move.” —Jim Shepard
“Ohlin’s stories are gripping from the get-go, and they don’t turn you loose. On virtually every page she surprised me and, more times than I could count, put a lump in my throat. She is one spectacular writer, and this is a beautiful book.” —Steve Yarbrough
