Born in San Francisco, Anne Germanacos has lived between Greece and San
Francisco for thirty years. Her stories are just as strange and tragic
as the Greek myths they riff on. Using a spare, image-laden prose style,
Germanacos focuses on discrete, telling moments to create fast-paced
stories that pack a powerful punch. This is not your standard short
story collection--it is an innovative work of literary prose as
brilliant, concise, and potent as a bolt of lightning from the hand of
Zeus.
