Boulevard Women — Mary Cobb; Lauren Cobb

Fiction. A debut by Lauren Cobb, chosen by author Kelly Cherry for the G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction, BOULEVARD WOMEN is a collection of linked stories about the evolving friendships of three women--a teenager, a forty-something widow, and a seventy-something traditionally Southern-minded lady--who are neighbors along the Boulevard in Athens, Georgia."With this debut collection Lauren Cobb proves herself as a writer who can create suspense, humor, and aesthetic shapeliness out of ordinary materials."--Kelly Cherry
