jennifer stevenson's trash sex magic
i think this story falls squarely into the realm of magical realism (think a la kelly link, whose small beer press published it). what happens when a construction company tears down a big ol' tree next to a river? well, the locals--especially a mother and daughter who can seduce any man at will--aren't too pleased. i really liked the characterizations here, and especially enjoyed the bits with the foxes. well, anyway, this wasn't some big heavy read but it was a darn good story.
ok, back to miyazaki night on tcm!
Have you read any Aimee Bender? I read her 2 story collections, Willful Creatures and The Girl in the Flammable Skirt last month, and they reminded me of Kelly Link stories.
