Jump and Other Stories, Nadine Gordimer. How a Mother Weaned Her Girl from Fairy Tales: and Other Stories, Kate Bernheimer. Why this book? Kate once said, "Because my stories seek to create radical moods about some very bad problems." In these moods we find outrageous, subversive, poignant, and productive strategies that offer insight. An imaginative, hauntingly poetic collection of contemporary fables that redefine the fairy tale for the modern woman. In Kate Bernheimer's familiar and spare—yet wondrous—world, an exotic dancer builds her own cage, a wife tends a secret basement menagerie, a fishmonger's daughter befriends a tulip bulb, and sisters explore cycles of love and violence by reenacting scenes from Star Wars.
