In a Lonely Place

I sought out this out-of-print book because I loved the much-anthologized story “Sticks.” Turns out that's the only great story in here. One epic story, two OK ones, and four clunkers. Plus, tons of cringey descriptions of women's bodies and women having sex with each other. Like, you're trying to read it for the scary bits, but the image of Wagner typing this stuff one-handed is completely intrusive. Yuck.
