“I used to think you hated my kindness, but now I realized you actually sort of enjoyed it, like our cats enjoy killing a mouse. Anyway that doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m not kind anymore.”
Here are three stories about real love that are not kind anymore. “Ten Things Wrong” is a chronicle of a woman’s failures and flaws in her own words, “Where We Come From” is a long drive through the snow toward a permanent ending in service of a new beginning, and “Turning Down” is one last plea for understanding before the end comes (and it WILL come for us all). Read these as soon as possible if you’re human or would like to be!
“Paula Bomer writes like Joy Williams meets Charles Bukowski meets, well, Paula Bomer, because no is quite like her. These stories gripped me by the throat. Nothing polite, nothing half-hearted. Just pure muscle, unforgettable voice. I’ll be thinking about these three complicated protagonists for a long time.”
