About this product
Product Information
The foibles of the people in Jill McCorkle s world are so familiar that we want nothing so much as to watch them walk into and then get out of life s inevitable traps. Here, in her first collection in eight years, McCorkle collects eleven brand-new stories bristling with her characteristic combination of wit and weight. In honeymoon shoes, mud-covered hunting boots, or glass slippers, all of the women in these stories march to a place of new awareness, in one way or another, transforming their lives. They make mistakes, but they don t waste time hiding behind them. They move on. They are strong. And they re funny, even when they are sad. These stories are the work of a great storyteller who knows exactly how and why to pair pain with laughter. "

Reviews
"McCorkle is an expert at engineering catharsis through good salty rants, but the best thing about these stories is the sense of romance and wonder in long-overdue journeys of self-discovery." --New York Times Book Review, "There are writers who seem to write it like it is--the quietness of their characters is not exaggerated, nor is their drama. They could live down the street or in the next apartment. Jayne Anne Phillips, Antonia Nelson--these are writers whose characters have no special aura, no golden ticket. Jill McCorkle's characters are like this." --Los Angeles Times, The joy of reading and rereading each of these marvelous sto- ries is to discover the truths encoded into each step of every hard-won journey--and to find ourselves along the way., eoeThese gems are written by a master craftswoman. Each story deserves savoring, as melancholy and humor work beautifully together in this artful collection.e, "Jill McCorkle is the guardian angel of American short fiction...The best, most artful McCorkle stories ever. Going Away Shoes is laugh-out-loud funny, full of sharp, incisive humor that explains us to ourselves." --Jayne Anne Philips, author of Lark and Termite, "The stories are small tributes to tenacity and spirit and choice--even when that choice is simply to keep putting one foot in front of the other." - -Miami Herald, eoeThe joy of reading and rereading each of these marvelous sto- ries is to discover the truths encoded into each step of every hard-won journeye"and to find ourselves along the way.e, "McCorkle's latest book gives us 11 reasons to smile . . . 11 cheerfully furious stories about women who have come to a screeching halt in their pursuit of happiness . . . The joy of reading and rereading each of these marvelous stories is to discover the truths encoded into each step of every hard-won journey--and to find ourselves along the way." --Atlanta Journal Constitution, These gems are written by a master craftswoman.
