A reality TV show centers around hungry tigers let loose in a New Jersey shopping mall. A vaudeville-era quick-change artist comes to town, dazzling an ambitious journalist and inspiring murder. A professional mediator confronts the fact that she is bored to tears by her now-sober husband. A business sets up shop in Mississippi masquerading as an overseas call center specializing in poor customer service. A jealous professor slowly vanishes bit by bit along with the story itself, word by word. At turns tragic, comic, absurdist, and heartbreaking, the eleven astonishing stories in Quick Change (including two Pushcart Prize winners) reveal the full, startling range of ourselves to ourselves.
