Garnett Kilberg Cohen leads readers through acutely crafted explorations of the way events shape and change our lives, sometimes for the better and sometimes in ways that haunt us forever. Love, friendship, childhood, parenthood, and leaving home--all these experiences of desire, driven by the unrelenting passage of time--form the heart of this charismatic collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kilberg Cohen's captivating and vulnerable characters often recognize their shortcomings and past mistakes, but cannot always rise above them. One woman learns to forgive her husband's ex; another fears her love of salty snacks caused a family tragedy. A stoic rural community drives a newcomer out of town; a young man's entire life is colored by a traumatic childhood event at a zoo. Focusing on the specific, unforgettable moments that reveal our connections to one another, Cravings offers an expansive vision of humanity that lingers long after the final page is turned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarnett Kilberg Cohen is the author of three story collections: \u003ci\u003eLost Women\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBanished Souls; How We Move the Air; \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSwarm to Glory\u003c\/i\u003e.
