Psychopathy is boring. Coldness is boring. She\u0026#39;s interested in feeling, and when her stories turn violent (as they frequently do), it\u0026#39;s with a surreal emotional barbarity that distorts the entire world. You can mop up blood with any fabric. Maggie\u0026#39;s concern is with the wound left behind, because the wound never leaves-it haunts. As a result, each of these stories leaves a wound of its own. Some weep, watching as you try (and fail) to recover. Others laugh. But never without feeling.\u0026quot; -B.R.
