Jenny and the Jaws of Life: Short Stories
"It's just the funniest collection of stories I've ever read--really funny and perfectly sad at the same time."--David Sedaris "A triumphant collection . . . Willett can provoke whoops of laughter, wonderment, and grim speculation about the brevity of good times for human beings."--ChicagoTribune "Exquisite . . . A great, darkly comic collection."--Esquire "Just to be absolutely clear: I'm not recommending this title. I'm telling you: add this item to your basket."--The Guardian (UK) "Willett is ready to join the select group of short story writers--Joyce Carol Oates and Flannery O'Connor among them--who treat lurid, graphic material with psychological acuity and deadpan wit."--TheProvidenceJournal "Resonates with understanding."--People "Exhilarating. Her art has passed through anxiety and come out the other side, completely honest yet purged of the confessional whine or the need to call attention to its bravery."--The Village Voice
