Publisher's Synopsis
Diane Williams, an American master of the short story who will rewire your brain (NPR), is back with a collection in which she once again expands the possibilities of fiction. These stories depict ordinary moments--a visit to the doctor's office or a married couple's hundredth dance together--but within the quotidian, Williams delivers a lifetime of insecurities, lusts, rejections, and revelations, making her work equally discomfiting and amusing. With unmatched wit in every sentence, Williams captures whole universes in a story, delivering visionary insights into what it means to be human. Williams's devotees will be newly enthralled by her elegantly strange, bewitching stories in How High?--That High. Those who have yet to meet the godmother of flash fiction (The Paris Review) will find an extraordinary introduction in this book.
