Overview:

With the wit, warmth, and wisecracking humor that have made her a bookseller favorite, Rita Ciresi might well be the modern-day Jane Austen. Her novels Pink Slip and Blue Italian, and the connected stories in Sometimes I Dream in Italian, show she is a deft chronicler of contemporary life, of both its heartbreak and its hilarity. In "Mother Rocket," her first book, which won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, Ciresi creates characters who walk the fault line between assured self-knowledge and dangerous self-deception, and proves herself master of the ironic gesture, the heartbreaking moment, and the irresistibly witty remark.
