Trash

"Trash," Allison's landmark collection, laid the groundwork for her critically acclaimed "Bastard Out of Carolina," the National Book Award finalist that was hailed by "The New York Times Book Review" as "simply stunning...a wonderful work of fiction by a major talent." In addition to Allison's classic stories, this new edition of "Trash" features "Stubborn Girls and Mean Stories," an introduction in which Allison discusses the writing of "Trash" and "Compassion," a never-before-published short story.

First published in 1988, the award-winning "Trash" showcases Allison at her most fearlessly honest and startlingly vivid. The limitless scope of human emotion and experience are depicted in stories that give aching and eloquent voice to the terrible wounds we inflict on those closest to us. These are tales of loss and redemption; of shame and forgiveness; of love and abuse and the healing power of storytelling.

A book that resonates with uncompromising candor and incandescence, "Trash" is sure to captivate Allison's legion of readers and win her a devoted new following.
