"Lucid, sensual . . . If the fiction of Stephen King and Alice Munro had a literary love child, it might look like this."--Washington Post "Artful . . .Noyes's knack for lucid prose includes providing her characters with simple language that nevertheless grasps an understanding of complex human dynamics."--New York Times Book Review An electrifying debut by sensational new literary talent, Anna Noyes, Goodnight, Beautiful Women observes the residents of small New England coastal towns in tales that probe boundaries of familial intimacy, coming-of-age sexuality, desirous girlhood, and lost love. With novelistic breadth and a quicksilver emotional intelligence, Noyes explores the ruptures and vicissitudes of growing up and growing old, and shines a light on our most uncomfortable impulses while masterfully charting the depths of our murky desires. Dark and brilliant, rhythmic and lucid, Goodnight, Beautiful Women marks the arrival of a fearless and unique new young voice in American fiction.Author Biography
