Frances Farmer no murió en Seattle

A chorus of female voices, of different ages and in diverse circumstances, rises in these pages to embody the dilemmas that mark existence. Each story, with its own pulse and intimacy, intertwines with the others to trace a secret map of intersecting lives, a network of mirrors where the individual becomes collective. As in Robert Altman's cinematic gesture of bringing Raymond Carver's world to the screen, here the stories converse with one another, illuminating with their resonance the chiaroscuro of human experience.
