Description:
With her stunning debut story collection, The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, Aimee Bener showed herself to be "a writer who makes you glad for the very existence of language" (San Francisco Chronicle). In "An Invisible Sign of My Own", Bender exceeds her early promise. She gives us the story of Mona Gray, a second-grade math teacher who has just turned twenty, a number that, like all numbers in her life, seems to have a profound significance. Mona lives her life under the shadow of her father's long, weird, unnamed illness and her own bizarre compulsions. Only numbers provide the order and beauty she craves. And when the science teacher arrives, Mona's strange and tidy universe is threatened by love, the supreme disorder.
Expand description
In luminous prose Bender conjures a dream world much like our own, a fairy tale groudned in a penetrating sense of what moves the human heart.
