ARYN KYLE

05/04/2010 7:00 pm

Three years after her award-winning debut novel, The God of Animals, was published (and occasioned an Elliott Bay reading), Aryn Kyle returns with a highly touted first collection of stories, Boys and Girls Like You and Me (Scribner). "By turns mordant and tender, often comic, always precise, these beautifully written stories go to the heart of the oddity we call ordinary life. Kyle succeeds in telling bitter truths about her characters—both the sinning and the sinned against—without succumbing to bitterness herself. Hope and affection for our sad bruised world shine through." - Sigrid Nuñez. "In this absolutely knockout collection, Kyle channels girls (and women) on the verge—of making big mistakes, tumbling into the wrong kind of love, and reevaluating everything they ever thought they knew about themselves and the world. Brilliantly funny and moving, Kyle shocks and surprises in a voice that's indelibly her own." - Caroline Leavitt.
