Schanoes, Veronica Burning Girls and Other Stories (1250781507)
Emma Goldman - yes, that Emma Goldman - takes tea with the Baba Yaga and truths unfold inside of exquisitely crafted lies. In 'Among the Thorns,' a young woman in seventeenth century Germany is intent on avenging the brutal murder of her peddler father, but discovers that vengeance may consume all that it touches. In the show stopping, awards finalist title story, 'Burning Girls,' Schanoes invests the immigrant narrative with a fearsome fairytale quality that tells a story about America we may not want - but need - to hear.
