Description: "What You've Been Missing explores the unsettling moments when ordinary life ceases to exist. This collection is about people continuing to talk - rather than shutting down - as bad things happen to them. As the recently divorced Liza thinks in "The Good Fight": "Words do ease us. They comfort us. Maybe they protect us in a way, rescue us from the agony of what our bodies feel.""--BOOK JACKET.
