Miss Jane


Description

'As unexpectedly beguiling as it is affecting.' Daily Mail Since his award-winning debut collection of stories, Last Days of the Dog-Men, Brad Watson's work has been as melancholy, witty, strange, and lovely as any in America.

Free to satisfy only herself, she mesmerizes those around her, exerting an unearthly fascination that lives beyond her still.
