About This Book
An exploration of contemporary family dynamics, moral conundrums, and romantic
love through one of our oldest literary forms?the fairy tale.
Mermaids, seal women, little girls born of eggs, old men born of prematurely
aged parents, and other strange creatures populate award-winning author Lauren
Slater's stories of magic, psychology, pain, and release. Slater depicts the
modern-day psycho-pharmaceutical industry and our ongoing obsession with
chemically synthetic solutions, the staleness and surprises embedded in married
erotic love, the conflicts in the mother-daughter bond, the universal struggle
with dependency and addiction, and more. In addition, she explicitly and
implicitly explores the value that fairy tales and fables still have in our
culture as tools of healing and illumination.
In writing fairy tales for adults, Slater successfully combines her skills as a
storyteller and her profound knowledge of psychology to create a bizarre world
that is also hauntingly familiar. Daring and absurd, poignant and disturbing,
these stories are beautifully written and will enchant and edify adult readers
forever after.
