Lynne Barrett
In Lynne Barrett's short-story collection, Magpies (Carnegie-Mellon University Press, $17.95), winner of the 2012 Florida Book Award for general fiction, characters move through the past decade's glitter and darkness. From the Internet's fragmented pages to a gossip columnist’s sweet poison to the ABCs of a hurricane season, these stories explore storytelling as a means of connection, betrayal, and survival. Barrett, an Edgar Allen Poe prize winner, is also the author of The Secret Names of Women and The Land of Go.
