Diane Williams, an American master of the short story who will 'rewire your brain' (NPR), is back with a collection in which she once again expands the possibilities of fiction. These stories depict ordinary moments-a visit to the doctor's office or a married couple's hundredth dance together-but within the quotidian, Williams delivers a lifetime of insecurities, lusts, rejections, and revelations, making her work equally discomfiting and amusing. With unmatched wit in every sentence, Williams captures whole universes in a story, delivering visionary insights into what it means to be human. Williams's devotees will be newly enthralled by her elegantly strange, bewitching stories in How High?-That High. Those who have yet to meet 'the godmother of flash fiction' (The Paris Review) will find an extraordinary introduction in this book.
