{"product_id":"these-worn-bodies-flash-fiction-9780913785799","title":"These Worn Bodies: Flash Fiction","description":"In this richly imagined and unconventionally told debut collection, Avitus B. Carle turns tradition on its head, discarding and reframing antiquated portraits of women and girls as damsels, princesses, and homemakers relegated to lives of cleaning and baking and waiting in towers to be rescued or to receive a truly forced first kiss. Instead, Carle's characters face the world head-on in unique, bold, and unexpected ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvitus B(uckhaulter) Carle's short fiction and nonfiction have appeared or are forthcoming in \u003ci\u003eThe Commuter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Rumpus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWaxwing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJMWW\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShondaland\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMoon City Review, \u003c\/i\u003eamong other publications.
