Butter

A shimmering collection of short fiction from one of America's most powerful literary voices. Endlessly inventive, challenging and surprising, these stories and fragments - sometimes hyper-realist, sometimes mystical - reflect the world in all its diversity. Jone's characters are spies, photographers, baristas, cartoonists and revolutionaries; her settings are historical and contemporary, in Europe and the Americas. With sharp observation, wit and poignancy, Jones explores complex identities and unorthodox longings.
