Stories by Marilyn Krysl
October 1, 1998 5.5 x 8.5 220 pages 978-1-56689-076-2
From Denver to Sri Lanka, Eden to the 21st century, Krysls stories explore female experience and imagination.
Marilyn Krysls stories are distinguished by a sardonic knowledge of the world as it is, and a haunting awareness of the world as it could be. In glittering prose, Krysl explores divisions between lovers, friends, and countrymen and finds new ways to reestablish those broken connections. Sometimes dreamlike and archetypal, other times topical and ironic, the stories in How to Accommodate Men mourn the fragmentation of our modern world and celebrate the compassionate gestures that offer hope.
