Vanilla and Other Stories

Vanilla and other stories gathers together a selection of twenty-five years of the mainstream and slipstream short fiction by Dorsey. In sharp contrast to the raw and sometimes harsh realities depicted in this collection, Dorsey’s stories are couched in beautiful, lucent language that is cumulatively lyrical and relentless.
