At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom (Contemporary American Fiction)

A collection of 16 poignant stories about the rogue stresses that threaten the stability of modern women At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom presents tales that are witty absurd and beautiful about coming together making do and learning to live with the scars of life. "...One of the great delights of these stories is that they approach the usual cliches of real life and fiction at an unexpectedly oblique angle. And they do so with surprising emotional force".--The Wall Street Journal.
