Ball by Tara Ison
[Tara is] a cool cat: not show-offy, but patient, warm, funny, and
supremely gifted. She was a great pleasure to have in class because she
was spot-on, but not aggressive or ungraceful about it. She used her
powers for good. […] “Ball,” as you are about to find out, is a truly
outrageous story about contemporary relationships, sex, and dog
ownership. It is about the way these things are very similar. And it is not
breezy and light about sex and dog ownership, it is honest and
tragicomic and astringent and provocative.
