Description

Lidia Yuknavitch's Verge is a powerful and unflinching portrayal of human resilience in the face of adversity. This collection of stories explores the lives of those on the margins, who are both wounded and determined to find salvation.

Through her characteristic empathy and insight, Yuknavitch sheds light on the jagged boundaries between pain and survival, revealing the ways in which individuals cope with the unchecked hungers of others and themselves. The result is a shard-sharp mosaic portrait of human experience, one that challenges us with uncomfortable truths even as it urges us to place our faith in the memories held within our own bodies.
