The imaginative tales in MANNEQUIN AND WIFE trip seamlessly across borderlands, navigating comedy and tragedy, psychological and magical realism, the mundane and the marvelous. A criminal mastermind's protégé plots the destruction of Mount Rushmore from within an extinct volcano. A man buys a drive-in theater and transforms it into a carnival sideshow. An attorney puzzles over how to leave someone his deceased client's heart. Jen Fawkes's award-winning stories examine the vagaries of human relationships, teasing out the startling complications that arise from our entanglements with those we loathe, and those we love.
