Living Arrangements
Book (italiano):
This collection of 13 stories feature characters, especially young women who redefine their sense of belonging by reconciling with their pasts. Whether it is a plain-looking woman winning ungainly notoriety as a lingerie window model, a young figure skater being lured by a stalker, or a daughter examining her mother's accidental death at a horse farm, these stories' protagonists surprise themselves and the reader by finding their places in the world through unpredictable turns. “Walter's first book is a collection of fine and finely unsettling stories,” writes Kristin Ohlson (Kabul Beauty School). “In these wonderfully written little tempests, the characters possess a keen but rarely bitter clarity about the losses and accommodations that life demands.” Butler writes that these stories “are not content simply to render the problems of characters; they transform those problems into the dynamic of desire, which drives all great narrative.”
