Abstract
The Most Delicate Parts is a collection of stories in which the fantastic collides with everyday life. Oksana Baiul becomes a swan in the skating rink. An ancient king haunts a bachelor's downstairs bathroom. And a girl automaton enters a beauty pageant. The collection is especially interested in creating images that recall the strangeness of fairy tales and magical realism. This attention to image creation often serves as an alternative method of gaining access into a character's carefully guarded interior, perhaps the strangest space within these stories.
