| Summary | Annotation This debut collection of storiesfeaturing a talk-show host and her talking hand, a womens activity group that writes to prisoners, and a poncho-making nudistis as unique as it is compelling. Set in their own melodramatic worlds, the stories take inspiration from Old Hollywood, Gothic novels, art-world gossip, and maybe a Lifetime movie or two. Balzer's observations are as sharp as Flauberts, and his characters are drawn with the complexity of George Saunders (and the wit of George Sanders). Beautifully illustrated throughout,Contrivancesproves that tragedy is comedy when you play with it long enough. |
