Description

Jean Thompson, heralded as "America's Alice Munro...one of the best contemporary short-story writers" by "Kirkus Reviews," delivers twelve exquisite new stories that combine her beloved trademarks of dark humor, seductively sharp wit, and uncanny observations on human nature. "Do Not Deny Me" is a fictional primer on how Americans live day to day: Thompson's characters -- a middle manager in the midst of midlife crisis, an urban single visiting her best friend turned suburban mother, a grieving woman looking for guidance -- are instantly recognizable in their predicaments, foibles, and sensibilities.

A brilliantly wrought exploration of the myriad circumstances that Americans are experiencing right now, this superlative collection perfectly captures the joys and amusements, trials and sorrows of its fictional inhabitants. "Do Not Deny Me" should be savored, word by word.

Author Biography:

Jean Thompson is the author of two acclaimed collections, Throw Like a Girl and Who Do You Love, a 1999 National Book Award finalist for fiction, and the novels City Boy and Wide Blue Yonder. She lives in Urbana, Illinois.
