A Good Day for Seppuku

One of the best short story writers in America. One of America's most widely anthologized short fiction writers has first new collection in almost two decades (since 1999). Braverman is a "writer's writer" revered by Joan Didion, Rick Moody, Janet Fitch, Dave Eggers, and others. 2 of the 8 stories included are previously unpublished; other stories have been selected by Raymond Carver, Dave Eggers, Akashic in their SF Noir book #1, and appear in other award-winning collections. Author who is widely known for rapturous female characters takes on the male voice in several groundbreaking stories here. Kate Braverman, at 68 years old, asserts new, craft-driven stories taking a long view on life, aging, mortality, family, and marriage.
