In restaurants and homes, near stone lions and toolboxes, stove tops and trucks, Diane Williams creates from everyday moments short stories of extraordinary brilliance and insight. Most often only a page or two in length, her fictions are masterworks that force the reader to see the world anew, delivering in slight packets of language strange and visionary insights into what it means to be human--what it means, moment by moment, to inhabit a body, to be assailed by thoughts and desires that one never fully understands.
