Thisbe Nissen Short Stories: Out of the Girls' Room, Vintage Paperback

This 2000 Anchor Books edition collects stories by Thisbe Nissen, winner of the 1999 John Simmons Short Fiction Award, exploring how love shapes the lives of people under thirty—Deadheads, queer teenagers, disillusioned Peace Corps volunteers, and dancers struggling with eating disorders. The vintage paperback shows its age with some discoloration but remains in good overall condition. A thoughtful read for those drawn to contemporary fiction that examines intimacy and identity with nuance.
