Publisher's Synopsis
Both timeless and urgent, these eleven stories confront misogyny, violence, and the impossible economics of America with van den Berg's trademark spiky humor and surreal eye. Moving from the peculiarities of Florida to liminal spaces of travel in Mexico City, Sicily, and Iceland, 'I Hold a Wolf by the Ears' is uncannily attuned to our current moment, and to the fears we reveal to no one but ourselves.
