The Woman Who Cut Off Her Leg at the Maidstone Club and Other Stories

In her debut collection, Julia Slavin conjures a world that is both familiar and limitless, where amidst our ordinary lives the banal and the unimaginable brush up against one another with startling grace and ease. From a lovelorn woman who sprouts teeth all over her body, to a man who literally falls to pieces, The Woman Who Cut Off Her Leg at the Maidstone Club is an inspiring work of the imagination, and a satiric and piercing look at the soul.
