"Jane Bowles is a master of the unforgettable phrase that no one else could have written. Tennessee Williams calls her "the most important writer of prose fiction in modern American letters." William S. Burroughs praises her "dizzyingly original stylist." The New York Times hails her as "a dizzyingly original stylist." Alva, a widow, states a preference for plain, ordinary pleasures - only to get drunk and flirtatious, and pass out in a strange bed when asked out for the evening. Sadie, a spinster, goes to a holiday resort complete with pine groves, marshmallows, and respectable clientele - to bring her nervous sister home, but instead comes to an eerie end herself. Mary, a little girl, spends her days in a clay pit leading an imaginary army of hard-muscled men. But when a strange boy invades her headquarters, Mary abandons her soldiers to follow him home. Disturbing, unforgettable, totally unique - Jane Bowles' short stories explore the hidden lives of women that only appear ordinary. A W&N Essential."
