A financially-strapped college student sells her sought after \"Ivy League eggs\" to a movie star, then wrestles with her feelings as the child grows up in the public eye. A long-married wife in the midst of a bungled kitchen remodel imagines the excitement of her neighbor's unstable erotic life. Isolated by quarantine, a young widow contends with a talking daffodil that panders to her in therapy-speak. Disquieting, original and strangely reassuring, these ten new stories make quick work of the easy truths and thoughtless salvos that keep us from seeing the wildness of our irreducible lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Robin Romm is the author of two short story collections, \u003ci\u003eThe Mother Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRadical Empathy\u003c\/i\u003e; a chapbook of stories, \u003ci\u003eThe Tilt\u003c\/i\u003e; as well as a memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Mercy Papers\u003c\/i\u003e (a New York Times Notable Book).
