A dazzling novel in stories from a master of the form that follows the Royal family across generations of obsession, betrayal, and reinvention. nFor fans of Mary Gaitskill and Lauren Groff. n nIn postwar Paris, a boy is seduced by his mysterious nanny into the world of adult secrets. In 1950s New York City, a naïve caretaker struggles to protect her charge, a married woman paralyzed by her recent stroke, as new bruises appear each day on her body. In the 1970s, a fragile cousin wanders into the Royal familys jazz-soaked townhouse, where music, sex, and ruin intertwine. And at the heart of these stories is Rainey Royal herself, coming of age in Greenwich Village, inventing herself as an artist through the tumult of the 70s and 80s. n nBy turns shocking, erotic, and deeply humane, List of All Possible Desires is a haunting portrait of family and history--written with Landiss trademark beauty and precision.n
