About the Book

When the Messenger Is Hot: Stories

In tales everywhere hailed for their disarming humor and keen perception, Elizabeth Crane gleefully explores the absurdities and possibilities of modern urban life. The women in When the Messenger Is Hot are fierce and kind, damaged and optimistic. They are jilted lovers, absent daughters, Twelve-Steppers, and smart-asses. They experience love and loss in a way that is both uniquely theirs and universal.
