Portland

Anger, betrayal, love, lust. The qualities that make us vulnerable are spread across these pages like a ballerina doing the splits. There's the runner who likes powder sugar on her nipples. Instructions on how to make a sandwich, given by a Chihuahua. The old man who wakes up as a sixteen-year-old girl. The recovering alcoholic whose place to think is the liquor store parking lot. The homeless man who lives in an abandoned tree house in the backyard of his wife's neighbor. These stories are like chocolates, you read one and you want another.
