Sinopse
Alva, a widow, states a preference for plain, ordinary pleasures—only to get drunk and flirtatious and pass out in a strange bed when she is asked out for the evening.
Sadie, a spinster, goes to a holiday resort complete with pine groves, marshmallows and respectable clientele—to bring her nervous sister home, but she instead comes to an eerie end herself.
Mary, a little girl, spends her days in a clay pit leading an imaginary army of hard-muscled men. But when a strange boy invades her headquarters, Mary abandons her soldiers to follow him home.
Disturbing, unforgettable, totally unique—Jane Bowles' short stories explore the hidden lives of women that only appear ordinary.
With an introduction by Chris Power.
