Title: Collected stories
Description: "With snow and cold sweat, a bite of pickle and the lingering stench of gunpowder, with muted violence softly writhing beneath their frayed suburban setting, these five stories by Catherine Kim place us in a dreamscape where terror, pain, pleasure, and redemption are tightly bound.  Kim's protagonists endure.  Trans women all, they stare back at every horror even as those horrors multiply and approach with unhinged jaws. But the beauty in these stories is also the way Kim allows her protagonists to falter, to linger in uncertainty, to hold tightly to whatever joy can be reached while the world caves in under the weight of endless, silent, heedless snow." -- Back cover.
