Book Synopsis
Like a reaped grassblade on a meadow of macadam, its object lies."

Trade Review
The author's short fiction has been rewarded with eight appearances in the annual O. Henry Prize Stories collection. The engaging What Goes without Saying collects 30 of her best tales, which first appeared in magazines ranging from Mademoiselle to the Kenyon Review. Washington Times Josephine Jacobsen gives us a startling word-by-word gift. Her characters-human and animal-know edginess and exhilaration. She is unfoolable. Her judgment is lyric, wise, and daring. She looks all around, her angle of vision invariably original, able to switch from the periscopic to the circumferential. National Book Awards 1995
