Bummer and Other Stories (Soft Skull Press)

Janice Shapiro will read and sign her acclaimed new short story collection, Bummer and Other Stories.

"Bummer is an exciting collection by a writer with an engaging and distinctive voice. Janice Shapiro’s stories are darkly funny, sexy and very smart.”
—Tom Perrotta, author of The Abstinence Teacher and Little Children

“This amazingly gutsy, fully voiced book bears comparison with the best work of Antonya Nelson, Mary Gaitskill, Lydia Davis, Amy Hempel, and Lorrie Moore.”
—David Shields, author of Reality Hunger
