Riassunto

It is a tale based on Beard's own life, the pieces in this book range from a devestating account of a random shootout at Beard's workplace to a stunning evocation of a drive through the Arizona desert to reminiscences of the boys of her youth to splitting with her husband and the death of her mother. Her subjects are love, loss, abandonment, the importance of strong friendships with female friends, her betrayal by men, the landscapes of America, dogs....Jo Ann Beard has a remarkable and original voice, and these short pieces of personal history are incredibly moving, funny and utterly compelling. They herald the arrival of a brilliant young writer.
