Humor Short

Diane Williams, an American master of the short story who will "rewire your brain" (NPR), is back with a collection in which she once again expands the possibilities of fiction.

Was macht Frau, wenn sie überall männliche Nackerte sieht? Mit welchen Mannsbilderprofessionen harmoniert Frau eher nicht bzw. welche sind für eine längerwährende Partnerschaft dann doch nicht geeignet? Und warum kommt eine Bissgurn nur selten allein? Mit diesen und anderen nicht unbedingt lebenswichtigen, aber recht lustigen Fragen beschäftigt sich die Autorin in gewohnt selbstironischer Manier.
