Virgins & Tricksters

By Rosalie Morales Kearns

These exuberant and subtly subversive stories, one of which earned a Special Mention in the 2013 Pushcart Prize volume, range from the Caribbean to small-town Pennsylvania to a post-apocalyptic state forest. Veering between the realistic and the fabulist, these tales might best be described as whimsical-realist, or magic-absurdist. Marge Piercy praised the collection for its "succinct, smart tales rooted in and rooting around in a female-centered spirituality, [with] rich and strong characters and vivid particulars."The collection, originally published by Aqueous Books in 2012, has been re-released by Guayac?n Press.
