About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. <p><b>A crowning collection from the award-winning short story writer Pamela Painter.</b></p><p>Pamela Painter's short stories have been praised by Margot Livesey for their "wicked intelligence and ruthless humor." In<i> Fabrications</i>, which brings together 7 new and 24 selected stories, characters struggle to avoid the chaos in their lives, butâdriven by addictions and appetitesâoften bring on disaster. Nobody is ordinary in Painter's stories. A burglar can't believe what he is asked to do by the woman whose jewelry he is stealing. Hitchhikers, hell-bent on murder, are thwarted by the miracle of story-telling. A wife can make roomsâand her husbandâdisappear, but saves the family dog. A young woman insists on the romance of being married in an Elvis Presley chapel, but for the wrong reasons. </p><p><i>Fabrications</i> is a testament to Painter's lyric skill and psychological insight across her career.</p><p>Praise for Previous Books by Pamela Painter </p><p>"These wonderful storiesâabout dogs and housewives, scholars and teenagersâvividly demonstrate Painter's wicked intelligence and ruthless humor and her utterly democratic interest in all our faults and foibles. . . . [A] quirky, sexy, irresistible collection."âMargot Livesey <br /> <br />"Pamela Painter's stories are warm, wise, funny, and ultimately true to the way we live nowâtrying to carry on in the face of things breaking down around us. Reading each story is a thrillâfor the full-blown lives, astute details, exact metaphors, and pitch-perfect dialogue. She's like a carpenterânailing it, again and again."âBobbie Ann Mason</p><p>"This is fiction of immense beauty, full of wisdom and informed by rare grace."âSteve Yarbrough</p>
