Insightful, and often wickedly funny, Marina Rubin's Knockout Beauty and Other Afflictions is an award-nominated collection of stories - - of desire, damage, and human meandering.
The profound, Man in a Fedora, examines the depths and reality of friendship; In Smorgas, a woman's relentless quest to have it all hurls her into a passionate and intricate relationship with two men who happen to be best friends; Who to Call in Case of Emergency is a unique take on the #MeToo movement, and You Can Live with This Nose is a conversation about plastic surgery overheard at an LGBTQ synagogue. Knockout Beauty and Other Afflictions is filled with drama, irony, humor, and unforgettable characters.
Affairs, addictions, loss, and loneliness come alive on these pages, as well as hope, redemption, and the search for beauty.
