The Girl in the Flammable Skirt Bewertungen

Aimee Bender's debut short-story collection shows a writer ready to flirt with the fantastical. Largely concerned with the love lives of young metropolitans and desperate housewives, her cheerily bizarre scenarios give romance a fresh twist ... Bender is a writer with a very incendiary turn of phrase. * Independent *
These stories are unusual, certainly and they take you inside people's feelings. Bender gets you to see the world in very particular ways. Beautifully done; you won't forget this. * Evening Standard *
Hilarious, deep and a little bit dirty * Harper's Bazaar *
Many of the stories in The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, begin with a premise just on the fringe of the familiar, then give it a tantalising twist ... Bender's stories are powered be voice - by pleasure of an electric simile and a restrained sauciness * New York Times Book Review *
Fierce and true ... Fantastic! * Los Angeles Times Book Review *
