Verging on the Pertinent

By Carol Emshwiller

Book Overview

Stories ranging from surreal adventure to hilarious satire.

In this long awaited but nonetheless startling collection, Emshwiller uses tongue-in-cheek realism to explore the psychological make-up of contemporary women. Not afraid to stick their necks out, these stories force us to look at the ordinary domestic world and see it as truly skewed, odd, metaphorical, allegorical, satirical and fantastic.
