''Beautifully crafted'' New York Times

''The best collection I''ve read in years, from a phenomenal new talent'' Celeste Ng

From an award-winning writer, a stunning collection of stories about women''s unexpressed desires and needs, and the unexpected ways they resurface.

In ''Floor Plans'', a woman at the end of her marriage tests her power when she inadvertently befriends the neighbor trying to buy her apartmentIn ''Appetite'', a sixteen-year old grieving her mother''s death experiences first love and questions how much more heartbreak she and her family can endure. In ''Dinosaurs'', a recent widower and a young babysitter help each other navigate how much they have to give -and how much they can take - from the people around them.



Through stories that are at once empathetic and unexpected, these women and girls defiantly push the boundaries between selfishness and self-possession. With a fresh voice and bold honesty, Back Talk examines how narrowly our culture allows women to express their desires.
