DescriptionA New York Times Book Review Editors Choice. One of Vol. 1 Brooklyn and Tor.coms Books to Read in February. Sharp, haunting . . . Meijer] writes wonderfully of the trap of the self, with its impossible prisons of circumstance and identity, not to mention the perversity of being buried alive, alone, inside a body. --Merritt Tierce, The New York Times Book ReviewFrom the author of Heartbreaker, a disquieting collection tracing the destructive consequences of the desire for connectionA man, forgotten by the world, takes care of his deaf brother while euthanizing dogs for a living. A stepbrother so desperately wants to become his stepsibling that he rapes his girlfriend. In Maryse Meijers decidedly dark and searingly honest collection Rag, the desperate human desire for connection slips into a realm that approximates horror. Meijers explosive debut collection, Heartbreaker, reinvented sexualized and romantic taboos, holding nothing back. In Rag, Meijers fearless follow-up, she shifts her focus to the dark heart of intimacies of all kinds, and the ways in which isolated peoples yearning for community can breed violence, danger, and madness. With unparalleled precision, Meijer spins stories that leave you troubled and slightly shaken by her uncanny ability to elicit empathy for societys most marginalized people.About the AuthorMaryse Meijer is the author of the story collection Heartbreaker (FSG, 2016), which was one of Electric Literatures 25 Best Short Story Collections of 2016.
