Synopsis
From loss, illness, and addiction to spooky offspring, dry skin, and inexplicable hope, this collection of "pretty" stories demonstrates how decidedly average people can be mortified--if not devastated--by new circumstances. A middle-aged, HIV-positive gay man, deformed by the side effects of protease inhibitors, is savaged by the flippant small talk of canny young men. A fundamentalist Christian housewife thrills from her newfound carnality, only to be saddled with the homeschooling of her four special-needs children. A washed-up but content pop star is pursued by a pair of shrill documentary filmmakers intent on turning the woman's life into arty tragedy, even if it kills them all. Mordant, brash, hysterically funny yet always compassionate, these stories give voice to characters moved to speak in spite of themselves., From loss, illness, and addiction to spooky offspring, dry skin, and inexplicable hope, this collection of "pretty" stories demonstrates how decidedly average people can be mortified - if not devastated - by new circumstances.

- 7***j (882)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
- r***r (7575)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller Orion Tech LLC is one of my occasional shopping sites. This purchase I had a problem, the only one so far. The books were packed well, shipped quickly and just as described. But this was not the book I ordered. I sent two photos of the book received and the ISBN code and I received a prompt refund. I bought two books the third book was free! I am still delighted being an Orion Tech Books customer and will be shopping at Orion Tech Books in the future. Thank you.
- i***2 (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis is a great seller. I had a minor issue with my book not matching the listing picture (right book, wrong edition/cover) and the seller was very responsive and helpful. I will definitely buy used books from here again, it is a great value with quick shipping. However, if you are looking for a specific edition/cover of a book, triple check the ISBN before you buy, because sometimes the listing photo is sourced from a third-party and may not match the ISBN.
