    About this ebook

    Longlisted for the 2013 Scotiabank Giller Prize

    A sharply original debut collection, How To Get Along With Women showcases Elisabeth de Mariaffi’s keen eye and inventive voice. Infused with a close and present danger, these stories tighten the knot around power, identity, and sexuality, and draw the reader into the pivotal moments where-for better or for worse-we see ourselves for what we truly are.

    “How to Get Along With Women is at once stunning and daring.”—Canada Arts Connect

    "De Mariaffi’s writing is biting and captivating."—The Book Stylist
