Winner of the Dzanc Short Story Collection Prize
A near-future farmer battling environmental crises takes in a mysterious girl he
finds on the roadside. A bus driver navigates through treacherous weather and
memories of her tragic past as she races to save children from the end of the
world. A woman keeps giving birth to children from different time periods. And a
woman struggles with her young daughter mysteriously transforming into something
wild and unruly, confronting themes of motherhood and family.
In Girl Country, stories range from medieval Belgium to the near-future of the
American Midwest, populated by mothers and monsters, mermaids and milkmaids,
nuns and bus drivers—women in every walk of life, but particularly working-class
women, navigating the intersection of the mundane and the magical. Perfect for
fans of Orange World and Animal Wife, these are stories about women with
teeth—wild and alive.
