Author's literary debut. Winner of a 2001 Whiting Writers' Award. Linked short story collection about a woman in her thirties who is HIV-positive. Of them, "Parachute Silk" and "Bad Boy Walking" originally appeared in the New Yorker, while "WLUV" was reprinted in the July-August 2003 issue of The Barcelona Review. The title story itself was chosen by Garrison Keillor for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories 1998.

"An intense, edgy, boldly candid, and irrepressibly sardonic voice drives the 21 interlinked stories in this collection. [Carter's] prose is everywhere supple and compelling, and this collection announces her as a brave new talent." –Publishers Weekly
