She makes little plays, stories long and short. The short ones, on another day, might have been poems. She is a lovely, lively writer.\"—Grace Paley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new collection of dramatic short tales is a remarkable first work by dramatist Elana Greenfield. In these stories, the author peers into the supernatural with passion, humor, irony and a remarkable matter-of-fact voice. In \"Possessed by a Demon,\" the devil reveals himself through two women who are both the narrators and the central characters. In \"Talent,\" Greenfield tells the story of a woman trying to transcend the elusiveness of love. And in \"The Premonitions,\" she lyrically predicts the life of Jesus. Together these pieces work toward self-discovery and awareness, while relinquishing the need to explain the inexplicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eElana Greenfield\u003c\/b\u003e lives in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Green Integer Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044114022640,"sku":"9781931243490","price":7.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781931243490_p0.jpg?v=1763638671","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781931243490","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
