Margo Lanagan's electrifying stories are for anyone who loves to be surprised, touched, unsettled and dazzled by what a great writer can do in just a few pages. Ten electrifying new stories from Margo Lanagan, internationally acclaimed author of Black Juice and White Time. 'Lanagan is in a class of her own.' -Weekend Australian 'The genius (not too strong a word) of Margo Lanagan is her ability to reach into darkness and return with something both different and powerfully convincing. It's astonishing enough to be introduced so abruptly to a writer this good, but even more extraordinary is her seemingly effortless mastery of the short story form, and what she proceeds to do with it.'-LOCUS, USA. 'Lanagan asks us to look at the world differently to see its fullness.' Sydney Morning Herald'With enormous skill, Lanagan disturbs as she entertains, stimulating our minds and playing havoc with our hearts.' Good Reading Praise for Lanagan's award-winning collection, Black Juice 'A good short story, a really good one, is deceptively difficult to write. Which is why Black Juice is such an outstanding collection. Because every single story in it is, quite simply, perfect. That's what I said: perfect.' -Outland, UK Views: 150

From the Israeli author of Love Life: "a highly polished and . . . beautifully written story that carries great weights of meaning" (Kirkus Reviews). Zeruya Shalev achieved international literary stardom with her novel Love Life, which The Washington Post Book World called "a brutally honest and often brilliant tour of individual and family psychology." In Husband and Wife, she takes us into the heartbreak and compromise of a diseased marriage that may or may not be capable of healing. Na'ama and Udi Newman, together with their young daughter Noga, lead a quiet domestic life. But their idyll abruptly ends when Udi—a perfectly healthy man—wakes up one morning unable to move his legs. The doctors can find no physical explanation for his paralysis.
