Big Cats: Stories Paperback - 2005
by Holiday Reinhorn
A sparkling collection of 12 award-winning stories in the tradition of Lorrie Moore and Dan Chaon, "Big Cats" heralds the arrival of a new and important voice in short fiction.
Summary
Big Cats opens with "Charlotte," in which a young girl with a broken pelvis spies on her voluptuous neighbor during a long, hot summer night, setting the tone of irrepressible curiosity and yearning that is evident throughout the collection. In "Get Away from Me, David," a bank manager tries to overcome his haunted past as he deals with the aftermath of a minor earthquake and the body of a customer who died in the lobby. "Big Cats" pits two teenage girls against each other in an escalating catfight at the zoo where they work, culminating in a blowout in front of the lion cage.
