About the quirks and dark sides to human behavior
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
An editor for the literary journal "New American Writing" and Chair of the Creative Writing Department, San Francisco State University, Maxine Chernoff writes short stories with a polish and candor that most other aspiring writers can only hope for. Some Of Her Friends That Year is an original anthology of fifteen unique stories by Chernoff about the quirks and dark sides to human behavior. From "We Kill What We Love" and "Rent-A-Pet", to "You Suck" and "Jewish Urban White Trash Story", Chernoff's tales are gut-twisting intense and do not shy away or beat around the bush in delivering devastating black humor, avant-garde wit, and an abyss of negative sympathy for the nasty demon within us all. An entrancing read; each these coiling tales is resists being put down until the very end.
