A womans neighbor jumps to his death in A Light, Swift, and Monstrous Sound, and in Candy Pink, a woman fails to contend with a difficult breakup in five easy steps.Written in Bazterricas signature clever, vivid style, these stories question love, friendship, family relationships, and unspeakable desires.
