Throw Like A Girl: Stories
Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2007: Not only does this latest collection of short stories from Jean Thompson have one of the best book titles I've come across in recent years, it's also a resonant and refreshingly unromantic portrait of women in every sort of role--ranging from the unpopular girl at school to a woman stuck in traffic to a modern-day Bonnie Parker.Throw Like a Girlis the kind of rare reading experience that makes you catch your breath with recognition as you meet each of these remarkable women, and Jean Thompson's taut, effervescent prose wakes you up to their most intimate details.--Anne Bartholomew
