Picture
A DAZZLING COLLECTION OF STORIES ILLUMINATING THE MYTHOS OF THE AMERICAN GIRL

“This haunting collection of 78 tiny but potent stories  . . .  are so sharp and disturbing they are probably best consumed in small quantities.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Pursell’s surreal stories together form a familiar picture of a world full of love and yearning  . . .”
—Booklist

“Pursell is a master of the atmospheric moment.  Precise, delicate, yet bloody-minded in their refusal to look away from the most painful moments of our tender lives . . .  Tiny tales that resonate far beyond their borders.”
—Kirkus Reviews  

“She is dexterous in anatomizing the relationships between mothers and daughters, emulating Henry James-like restraint to articulate that which is left unsaid between them.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
