Wide- and wise-eyed, mysterious girls leave their realities behind for strange and slightly unreal places at the edges of the country. Alternatively they hover over their Midwestern homes in interior worlds of their own creation. The stories in Elegies for Uncanny Girls stand at a boundary where both the girls' bodies and their tales are either their own or laid claim to by the culture and characters that surround them. A young woman whose body continually shrinks and expands moves to Los Angeles to make a movie about tragic merpeople; bewildered and seeking guidance, a new mom strikes up a conversation with a woman with detachable hands; and spurred on by a new ally who might just be a figment of her imagination, a girl decides she can choose her own friends. 410 0$aBreak away books. 606 $aYoung women$vFiction 606 $aGirls$vFiction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYoung women 615 0$aGirls 676 $a813.54 700 $aColville$b Jennifer$01744343 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163923903321 996 $aElegies for Uncanny Girls$94174282 997 $aUNINA
