Summary Note	These are tales of psyches pushed to their limits by the expectations of everyday life ? from a woman who gets lost on her drive home to her plush suburban home and ends up breaking into a stranger?s house, to a first-person account of a cloned 1940s magazine pinup girl being sold at auction and embodying America?s ideals of beauty and womanhood. Taken as a whole, the collection forms a poignant tapestry of regular people searching for their place in a social hierarchy, often with devastating and disastrous results. Rendered with stylish, fresh writing from an author who continues to push the envelope, the stories deftly weave in and out of a stream-of-consciousness to reflect the ways we process traumatic experiences and impart that uncertainty and uneasiness to the reader.
