YA
Stylistically and thematically diverse, this collection contains a frantic comic piece by Chris Lynch, self-consciously "literary" stories from Sonya Sones and Angela Johnson, and an intense first-person tale of same-sex desire by Michael Lowenthal. Most of the entries have a utilitation "written to order" feel, though readers will be drawn to the provocative subject matter of abortion, abstinence, and first sex.
