A breathtaking stylist, Mary Caponegro imbues her collection with startling details: a sister with an anatomical secret, a brother who invents a hammock from a harp, and precocious children who choose their own parents. Buoyed by her arch, Jamesian prose and psychological tone, Caponegro's stories are as delicately intricate as the fragile and difficult relationships they describe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Caponegro is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Star Café\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Complexities of Intimacy\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAll Fall Down\u003c\/i\u003e, among other collections of short fiction.
