description: The audacious savagely funny debut of a writer of razor-sharp wit and surprising tenderness: a collection of stories that gives us a fresh take on adolescence death sex; on being Jewish-ish; and on finding ones way as a young woman in the world. A New Yorker trying not to be jaded accompanies a cash-strapped pot grower to a clothing optional resort in California. A nerdy high-schooler has her first sexual experience at Geology Camp. A college student on the night of her fathers funeral watches a video of her bat mitzvah hypnotized by the image of the girl she used to be . . . Frank and irreverent Rebecca Schiffs stories offer a singular view of growing up (or not) and finding love (or not) in todays ever-uncertain landscape. In its bone-dry humor its pithy observations and its thrilling ability to unmask the most revealing moments of human interactionno matter how fleetingThe Bed Moved announces a new talent to be reckoned with.
