Описание: Lorraine L pez has long been one of my favorite short story
writers and this perfect collection highlights exactly why. In
Postcards from the Gerund State, L pez utilizes a sense of
humor that is so controlled that every single page contains
sneaky detonations that you cant help but go back to again
and again to marvel at them. And, because L pez is so masterful,
she ties that humor to deeply complex characters, a unique
community, their relationships so wonderfully examined. A truly
singular writer, L pez has made something amazing.
