    This collection brings together five of Lawrence's short stories from 1907-13 and ranges across all his major early styles and themes. They portray his distinctive vision of relations between men and woman, as well as social and economic life and human nature in general. The stories here concentrate on the details and dramas of everyday living, yet Lawrence is able to make these familiar things seem both vivid and strange, drawing the listener into intense participation with the thoughts and emotional experiences of his characters.

    Named a Best New Book of 2021 by Vogue and Refinery29Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Lit Hub“A witty, provocative short story collection, filled with women who are delightfully difficult.”—Refinery29Love Like That is a joyfully subversive and moving debut collection of stories about brilliant, broken women that are just the right amount wrong.Whether diving into complicated relationships or wrestling with family ties, the girls and women who populate this collection—misfits and misanthropes, bickering sisters, responsible daughters, and unhappy wives—don't always find themselves making the best decisions.A woman struggles with a new kind of love triangle when she moves in with a divorced dad. A lonely teenage beach attendant finds uneasy comradeship with her boss. A high school English teacher gets pushed to her limits when a student plagiarizes. Often caught between desire and duty, guilt and resentment, these characters discover what it means to get lost in love, and do what it takes to find themselves again.Utterly singular and wholly unforgettable, Emma Duffy-Comparone's stories manage to be slyly, wickedly funny at even their darkest turns and herald the arrival of an irreverent and dazzling new voice.

There is also the presence of an unknown old man around the house, whom the family was oddly devoted to, and who frightened and intrigued the partygoers. When the man sits next to the narrator's guest, Beatrix Rochefide, she touches him, and the narrator rushes her out of the room. The narrator says he knows who the man is and says he will tell her his story the next evening....

    A schoolgirl catches the eye of the future leader of Nazi Germany. An aspiring playwright writes to a convicted serial killer, seeking inspiration. A pair of childhood sweethearts reunite to commit rape and murder. A devoted Mormon wife follows her husband into the wilderness after he declares himself a prophet. The twelve stories in The Love of a Bad Man imagine the lives of real women, all of whom were the lovers, wives, or mistresses of various “bad” men in history. Beautifully observed, fascinating, and, at times, horrifying, the stories interrogate power, the nature of obsession, and the lengths some women will go to for the men they love.
