Inside Madeleine

Inside Madeleine

<b>"With surgical insight, <i>Inside Madeline</i> delves into the most complex female territory imaginable and dissects until every honest bone is revealed. Bomer's prose doesn't flinch, doesn't filter—the bravery of these stories left me breathless.”<br /> —Alissa Nutting, author of <i>Tampa</i><br /></b><br />From the author of <i>Nine Months</i> and <i>Baby</i> comes a daring new collection that seethes with alienation, lust and rage. Bomer 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.<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
