Time: The PresentTime: The Present collects the best short stories of one of the finest American writers of the 1930s, Tess Slesinger. An Academy Award winning screenwriter, Tess Slesinger was one of the most innovative and original short story writers of her generation. She dealt with issues of sexuality, economics, race, and the complex relationships between men and women in and out of marriage that remain highly relevant today. Slesingers stories can be satirical,

a concept she's now beginning to doubt

and to sing soul unto soul

pantomimes and funerals

the Ninth House is the area primarily concerned with systematic understanding and the laws that govern it

and as Britain waits for its last hanging

including one short lyric where floodwater puddles seem to resemble war-torn continents

Europe and beyond from our own growing and incredible community of poets
