I Hold a Wolf by the Ears: Stories by Laura van den Berg

5.0

---

A spectacular accomplishment -- in these stories, dark subversion pairs itself with dry humor. Clear-eyed and terse, these tales are of women on the edge, on the verge, blind-folded in deep pits (sometimes of their own making; sometimes not) reaching for the crumbling dirt walls with nimble, capable fingers.
