Willful Creatures by Aimee Bender
"Contemporary fairy tales, cushioned by goofy humor and a deep tenderness for her characters, that aren't always as dark or as sinister as they initially appear." --The New York Times Book Review
Aimee Bender's Willful Creatures conjures a fantastical world in which authentic love blooms. This is a place where a boy with keys for fingers is a hero, a woman's children are potatoes, and a little boy with an iron for a head is born to a family of pumpkin heads. With her singular mix of surrealism, musical prose, and keenly felt emotion, Bender once again proves herself to be a masterful chronicler of the human condition.
Aimee Bender is the author of the novels The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and An Invisible Sign of My Own, as well as the collections The Girl in the Flammable Skirt and Willful Creatures, which were both New York Times bestsellers. Her work has been widely anthologized and translated into sixteen different languages. She currently resides in Los Angeles.
