In this collection of a novella and stories, Anndee Hochman examines loss, faith, and love, and explores the complex anatomies of human relationships. Her tales are peopled by a brilliant assortment of characters, many of them adolescent girls and young women, all on the verge of discovering their roles in the world. Smart, fresh, and vivid, Anatomies marks the fiction debut of a gifted writer.
"Anndee Hochman masterfully illustrates how the inner self informs the outer, and vice versa, in this vivid, moving, and at times painfully funny collection."
Sharon Lennon, Ms. magazine
"Moments of perception and beauty...are accented by Hochman's striking images."
Marit Haahr, San Francisco Chronicle
"Hochman deftly interweaves humor, crisp language and evocative imagery throughout Anatomies....Her prose is arresting and beautiful."
