Alissa Nutting is such a wildly gifted & inventive storyteller, it's hard not to keep popping down the tales in this collection one after the other like candy, like a bag of gumdrops that feel deceptively easy to chew but are actually laced with a powerful hallucinogenic substance that turns into an elixir of pithy insight at the last possible moment. I felt almost guilty about how much I was enjoying myself at times. Nutting's narrative style is rapid-fire, economical, and surreally recognizable, as ingeniously weird as Charlie Kaufman, as widkedly outrageous as David Sedaris. Her (exclusively female) protagonists find themselves in all sorts of unconscionably degrading positions, but the luckier ones muster up just enough humor & self-respect to weather their scenes of betrayal. The standouts for me were "Bandleader's Girlfriend" (about the convergence between a hedonistic rocker chick and her straitlaced sister), "Ant Colony" (a truly eerie, incisive allegory of how society captures & sustains its "ideal woman"), "Deliverywoman" (a parody of modern relationship healing between a naive spacewoman & her psychopathic mother who could be played by Sigourney Weaver on steroids), "Hellion" (about a deceased woman's surprisingly human relationship with the devil), "Gardener" (a possibly perfect contemporary fairy tale about a frigid marriage transformed by randy garden gnomes), and "She-Man" (the tragic gem of this collection, about the impossibility of achieving love in a wordl driven by bigotry & hatred). It's a thankless job being female, but this book shows that it also makes for a brutally fun read.
