520    "At an obscure South Carolina nursing home, a lost world 
       reemerges as a disabled elderly woman undergoes newfangled
       brain-restoration procedures and begins to explore her 
       environment with the assistance of strap-on robot legs. At
       a deluxe medical spa on a nameless Caribbean island, a 
       middle-aged woman hopes to revitalize her fading youth 
       with grotesque rejuvenating therapies that combine cutting
       -edge medical technologies with holistic approaches and 
       the pseudo-religious dogma of Zen-infused self-help. And 
       in a rinky-dink mill town, an adolescent girl is 
       unexpectedly inspired by the ravings and miraculous 
       levitation of her fundamentalist friend's weird 
       grandmother. These are only a few of the scenarios readers
       encounter in Julia Elliott's debut collection, The Wilds. 
       In these genre-bending stories, teetering between the 
       ridiculous and the sublime, Elliott's language-driven 
       fiction uses outlandish tropes to capture poignant moments
       in her humble characters' lives. Without abandoning the 
       tenets of classic storytelling, Elliott revels in lush 
       lyricism, dark humor, and experimental play. "--|cProvided
