by Anne Panning (Author)
Short stories depicting individuals trying to live with and without their dysfunctional families, clinging to whatever stability they can find.
"Newcomer Panning tracks the dreams and travails of a passel of hard-luck Minnesotans. A chronically depressed, perpetually medicated woman ('I'm Joan, the sick one, don't mind when I throw my lamp against the wall') uneasily coexists with her older sister Lillian and Lillian's alcoholic boyfriend ('I hate him and he hates me'). An unsightly facial cyst hampers Rollie, a lab technician, in finding a girlfriend; loyal Harlan, an 18-year-old hired farmhand, is unfairly booted from his job when his wife is nine months pregnant; 12-year-old Ivan's father ran off with the librarian, leaving him to cope with his unbalanced mother and a styful of unruly pigs; and trailer-park denizen Lizzie has an alcoholic father who ekes out a meager living as a barber, and a farmer uncle who sexually abuses his daughter in Lizzie's presence." --Publishers Weekly
