520    "[A] new collection of stories that boldly examines the 
       changes in American culture over the last two years 
       through the increasing presence of violence, bigotry, 
       sexual harassment, and the emotional costs of living under
       constant threat. In the title story, the competition 
       between two middle school cellists is affected by a 
       shooting at their school, and it is only years later that 
       they realize how the intrusion of violence affected the 
       course of their lives. In "This Is Who You Are," a young 
       girl walks the line between Hebrew school and her regular 
       school, realizing that both are filled with unexpected 
       moments of insight and violence. In "Three Interviews," an
       aging reporter must contend with her dwindling sense of 
       self and resources, beleaguered by unemployment, which 
       sets her on a path to three increasingly unhinged job 
       interviews. In "Mrs. America," a candidate for local 
       office must confront a host of forces that threaten to 
       undermine her campaign and expose her own role in the 
       dissonance between what America is and what it should be"-
