The Bed Moved: Stories (Vintage Contemporaries)

The audacious, savagely funny debut of a writer of razor-sharp wit and surprising tenderness: a collection of stories that gives us a fresh take on adolescence, death, sex; on being Jewish-ish; and on finding oneâ€™s way as a young woman in the world.

A New Yorker, trying not to be jaded, accompanies a cash-strapped pot grower to a â€œclothing optional resortâ€ in California. A nerdy high-schooler has her first sexual experience at Geology Camp. A college student, on the night of her fatherâ€™s funeral, watches a video of her bat mitzvah, hypnotized by the image of the girl she used to be . . .

Frank and irreverent, Rebecca Schiffâ€™s stories offer a singular view of growing up (or not) and finding love (or not) in todayâ€™s ever-uncertain landscape. In its bone-dry humor, its pithy observations, and its thrilling ability to unmask the most revealing moments of human interactionâ€”no matter how fleetingâ€”The Bed Moved announces a new talent to be reckoned with.
