In The Girl With Brown Fur, Stacey Levine has invented stories that will thrill readers of literary fiction who hunger for an innovative American voice. No two of these fictions are alike, and yet in each, an otherworldly beauty shines through as Levine probes the basic human desire for connection. Magical, funny, and darkly poetic, these modern tales mine the borders between dreams and conscious life, inviting us on a voyage through places and times at once familiar and strange. Bio Stacey Levine is the author of My Horse and Other Stories (PEN/West Fiction Award, 1994) and the novels Dra--- and Frances Johnson. A Pushcart Prize nominee, her fiction has appeared in the Denver Quarterly, Fence, Tin House, The Washington Review and others.
