The Witch Bottle and Other Stories by Suzanne Feldman

FELDMAN CASTS A SPELL WITH THESE LAYERED, IMMERSIVE, OCCASIONALLY HILARIOUS STORIES, EACH ONE A MINATURE NOVEL IN ITS DEPTH, ITS WISDOM, ITS AFTERGLOW-- Kathleen Wheaton

SPENDING TIME IN SUZANNE FELDMAN'S WORLD IS PURE JOY -- Olga Zilberbourg, author of Like Water and Other Stories

From Depression era Mississippi to the suburbs of modern America, to the trials and tribulations of smart young women struggling to make a name for themselves in the arts, Feldman delves deep into the dreams and emotions of regular people and makes them beautiful and accessible. This prize-winning collection of short stories and two novellas, offers entrancing tales of redemption, betrayal, tradition, and rebellion. These narratives range in mood from "The Lapedo Child," a tale of discovery and liberation, to "The Witch Bottle," a comic examination of a pair of obsessed next-door neighbors. "Untitled Number 20" explores life among women artists at the end of the Flower Power era and the beginning of the Seventies. "The Stages" is a meditation on one woman's struggle for dignity in the face of divorce and untreatable cancer.Whether it's the end of a marriage, or a struggle for fame, these works probe issues that give us that "shock of recognition" that is the hallmark of great art-wonderful, absorbing fiction that will be read and reread for decades to come.
