Small Avalanches and Other Stories
Joyce Carol Oates
When the sky blue ball comes soaring over the fence,
a high-school girl is confronted with the haunting memory of her
childhood. A jealous teen lets her cousin go off alone with a
dangerous capricorn, aware of the terrifying possibilities. A
vulnerable young girl cunningly outwits a menacing stranger and
exults in her newfound power, surviving the first of many small
avalanches.
Intense and unnerving, uplifting and
triumphant, the twelve stories in this riveting collection explore
the fateful consequences of the choices we make in our everyday
lives.
