Boulevard Women: Stories [Paperback]

Fiction. A debut by Lauren Cobb, chosen by author Kelly Cherry for the G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction, BOULEVARD WOMEN is a collection of linked stories about the evolving friendships of three women—a teenager, a forty-something widow, and a seventy-something traditionally Southern-minded lady—who are neighbors along the Boulevard in Athens, Georgia.

With this debut collection Lauren Cobb proves herself as a writer who can create suspense, humor, and aesthetic shapeliness out of ordinary materials. —Kelly Cherry
