Every drop is a man's nightmare : stories / by Kakimoto, Megan Kamalei,author.;
"From Rona Jaffe Foundation scholar Megan Kakimoto, a blazing, bodily, raucous journey through contemporary Hawaiian identity and womanhood, introducing a major new storytelling talent. Megan Kakimoto's wrenching and sensational debut story collection follows a cast of mixed native Hawaiian and Japanese women through a contemporary landscape thick with inherited wisdom and the ghosts of colonization. This is a Hawai'i where unruly sexuality and generational memory overflow the postcard image of paradise and the boundaries of the real, where the superstitions born of the islands take on the weight of truth. A childhood encounter with a wild pua'a (boar) on the haunted Pali highway portends one young woman's increasingly frightening pregnant body. An elderly widow begins seeing her deceased lover in a giant flower. A kanaka writer, mid-manuscript, feels her raw pages quaking and knocking in the briefcase. For readers of Kawai Strong Washburn's Sharks in the Time of Saviors and Jocelyn Nicole Johnson's My Monticello, Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare is both a fierce love letter to Hawaiian identity and mythology, and a searing dispatch from an occupied territory simmering with tension"--

Death by a thousand cuts : stories / by Bhat, Shashi,1983-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In this dazzling collection of stories, characters confront the painful absurdities and everyday horrors that come with being a woman. A writer discovers that her ex-boyfriend has published a novel about their breakup. An immunocompromised woman falls in love. A Reddit post about a man's habit of grabbing his girlfriend's breasts prompts a dark confession. A teenager contends with an unsettling shift at home after her beautiful mother has a disfiguring accident. A child-free woman goes on a date with a man who tests her boundaries. A college student vows to end things with her aspiring geneticist boyfriend, who wishes she had blue eyes. And when a woman unexpectedly begins to lose her hair, she embarks on an increasingly nightmarish search for answers. The characters in Death by a Thousand Cuts seek connection while facing longing, fear, rage, and the impossible expectations placed on women. With bracing honesty and a skewering wit, these stories boldly wrestle with themes of illness, pain, desire, bodily autonomy, and their inescapable impacts on a woman's relationships with others and with herself."--

We have never lived on Earth : stories / by Van Schaik, Kasia,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."'Love in the age of microplastics.' Kasia Van Schaik's debut story collection follows the journey of Charlotte Ferrier, a child of divorce raised by a single mother in a small town in British Columbia after moving from South Africa. The stories traverse the most intimate, violent, and transforming moments of female experience in a world threatened by ecological crisis. Charlotte navigates relationships-- with lovers, parents, friends, and environments-- as they form and fray. Mother and daughter wait out the end of a bad year in a Mexican hotel; a friendship is tested as forest fires demolish Charlotte's town; a childhood friend disappears while travelling through Europe; and a girl on the beach examines the memories of dying jellyfish. Each story asks: how do we find connection in a world shaped by isolation? How do we accept the new? Written in startling, poetic prose, We Have Never Lived On Earth captures the feelings and experiences of being a woman: physical and psychological threat, creativity, disappointment, objectification, and desire. Calling to mind Alice Munro's precocious Del Jordan and Rachel Cusk's Faye, these powerful portraits of female interiority balance nostalgia, fear, and hope for the future as they tell of the struggle to understand what it means to live on earth."--Provided by publisher.

Binge : 60 stories to make your brain feel different / by Coupland, Douglas,author.;
"The first new work of fiction since 2013, from one of Canada's most successful, idiosyncratic and world-defining writers, Douglas Coupland. He's called it Binge because it's impossible to read just one. Imagine feeling 100% alive every moment of every moment of the day! Maybe that's how animals live. Or trees, even. I sometimes stare at the plastic bag tree visible from my apartment window and marvel that both it and I are equally alive and that there's no sliding scale of life. You're either alive, or you're not. Or you're dead or you're not. Thirty years after Douglas Coupland broke the fiction mould and defined a generation with Generation X: Tales for an Accelarated Culture, he is back with Binge, 61 stories laced with his observational profundity about the way we live and his existential worry about how we should be living: the very things that have made him such an influential and bestselling writer. Not to mention that he can also be really funny. Here the narrators vary from story to story as Doug catches what he calls "the voice of the people," inspired by the way people write about themselves and their experiences in online forums. The characters, of course, are Doug's own: crackpots, cranks and sweetie-pies. People in the grip of unconscionable urges; lonely people; dying people; silly people. If you love Doug's fiction, this collection is like rain on the desert."--Provided by publisher.
