These stories are gritty, shocking, and depressing, but hell, are they fantastic. Occasionally they get repetitive, since they're all centered around the same theme (growing up a poor, “white trash” lesbian in the American South), but you honestly don't realize that until after you're done with the book, because her writing is so alive.
