Diane Williams, an American master of the short story, is back with a collection in which she once again expands the possibilities of fiction.
These stories depict ordinary moments - a visit to the doctor's office or a married couple's hundredth dance together - but within the quotidian, Williams delivers a lifetime of insecurities, lusts, rejections, and revelations, making her work equally discomfiting and amusing. With unmatched wit in every sentence, Williams captures whole universes in a story, delivering visionary insights into what it means to be human.
Williams's devotees will be newly enthralled by her elegantly strange, bewitching stories in How High?-That High.
