Item Description

A sense of freedom. A sense of failure. A range of reactions, from anger to relief to regret. This bestselling anthology explores the conflicting emotions surrounding divorce-in twenty-two outstanding short stories by "some of the countries most formidable authors" (The New York Post).

A first-of-its-kind collection featuring stories by John Updike, Alice Munro, Richard Ford, Michael Chabon, Grace Paley, Anne Beattie and many others, this bestselling anthology represents a journey through the rocky terrain of separation and divorce, from the viewpoints of the various people affected by the dissolution of a marriage, whether that dissolution is slow and sad or sudden and shocking. Fault Lines is not only a stunning showcase of talent, but a unique literary look at the culture of divorce.

Shetterly is the author of the three books Fault Lines: Stories of Divorce (The Putnam Berkley Group, 2001, an indie bestseller) and Made for You and Me: Going West, Going Broke, Finding Home (Voice, 2011), and the recently published Modified (Putnam 2016) a journey into the controversial and intriguing GMO debate.  Modified was named one of the "Best Books of 2016" by Publishers Weekly and by Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. Shetterly has written for the New York Times, Elle Magazine,  O: The Oprah Magazine, Medium.com and CNN.com. She has been a regular contributor to both NPR and PRI.
