In these haunting and wickedly funny stories, an apocalypse might come in the form of the end of a relationship or the end of the world, but they all expose the tricky landscape of our longing for a clean slate. In three longer stories, contemporary American life is playfully, if disturbingly, distorted: the rite of passage for adolescent girls involves choosing the madman who will accompany them into adulthood; California burns to the ground while, on the east coast, life carries on; and a soldier returns home broke from war to encounter a witch who extends a dangerous offer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once mournful and explosively energetic, \u003ci\u003eOne Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses\u003c\/i\u003e is \"deeply rooted in the politics and upheaval of our times\" (\u003ci\u003eLambda Literary\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy Corin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the short story collection \u003ci\u003eThe Entire Predicament\u003c\/i\u003e and the novel \u003ci\u003eEveryday Psychokillers: A History for Girls\u003c\/i\u003e.
