About this ebook
Raw, intense short fiction that “delves into the most complex female territory imaginable and dissects until every honest bone is revealed” (Alissa Nutting, author of Tampa).
From the author of Nine Months and Baby comes a daring new collection that seethes with alienation, lust, and rage. Inside Madeleine takes us from hospitals, halfway houses, and alleyways to boarding schools and Park Avenue penthouses, exploring the complex relationships girls have with their bodies, with other girls, and with boys. The title novella tracks the ins and outs of an outsider’s life: her childhood obesity and kinky sex life, her toxic relationships, whether familial or erotic—and her various disappearing acts, of body and mind.
