| Summary |
"An exhilarating and delightfully deviant debut story collection that, with comedic precision and compulsive irreverence, explores the most surreal and inadmissible fantasies of contemporary women. In her startlingly funny debut collection, Nada Alic portrays characters compelled by an inner agitation-a deep desire to know themselves beyond their prescribed social roles of wife, artist, woman, friend. Bad Thoughts journeys inside the subterranean realm of a woman's mind where her most feral instincts reign. Mundane ruminations on how to sound normal on the phone and where Danish people are from rub up against weighty, existential meditations like Am I a bad person? and Have I wasted my life? Alic conjures these thoughts with a voice that is instantly arresting, unexpectedly hilarious, and absolutely unforgettable"-- Provided by publisher. |
