The thirteen stories in Wendy Rawlings's \u003ci\u003eTime for Bed\u003c\/i\u003e traverse the complicated terrain of bedtime activity, from adulterous couplings to nightmares that come to life, in terms that can feel lurid, unsettling, or disturbingly funny. A college student struggles with her mother leaving her father for a \"cafeteria lady\" at her high school. A woman loses her only daughter in a mass school shooting and goes on a road trip to buy a custom coffin, then decides to take a side trip to NRA headquarters. A daughter decides she should be born again--literally. Social, cultural, and familial disruptions haunt these characters in their waking lives as they look to grab something or someone for stability. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A collection of comic stories that confront difficult and tragic events, \u003ci\u003eTime for Bed \u003c\/i\u003ecrafts dreamscapes and bizarre encounters into bedtime stories for adults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Rawlings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807171516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWendy Rawlings\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eCome Back Irish\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2000 Sandstone Prize for Short Fiction, and \u003ci\u003eThe Agnostics\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Michigan Literary Fiction Award.
