Something has happened to Peach. It hurts to walk but she staggers home to parents that don't se to notice. They can't keep their hands off each other and, besides, they have a new infant, sweet and wobbly as a jelly baby.brbrPeach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green. But sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the gaping mory of a mouth, and working is hard when burning sausage fat fills her nostrils, and eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum.brbrIn this dazzling debut, ma Glass articulates the unspeakable with breath-taking clarity and verve. Intensely physical, with rhythmic, visceral prose,eachmarks the arrival of a visionary new voice.p
