"A collection of wistful, witty stories." --Esquire"Hilarious, deep and a little bit dirty." --Harper's Bazaar A grief-stricken librarian decides to have sex with every man who enters her library. A half-mad, unbearably beautiful heiress follows a strange man home, seeking total sexual abandon: He only wants to watch game shows. A woman falls in love with a hunchback; when his deformity turns out to be a prosthesis, she leaves him. A wife whose husband has just returned from the war struggles with the heartrending question: Can she still love a man who has no lips? Aimee Bender's stories portray a world twisted on its axis, a place of unconvention that resembles nothing so much as real life, in all its grotesque, beautiful glory. From the first line of each tale she lets us know she is telling a story, but the moral is never quite what we expect. Bender's prose is glorious: musical and colloquial, inimitable and heartrending. Here are stories of men and women whose lives are shaped--and sometimes twisted--by the power of extraordinary desires, erotic and otherwise. The Girl in the Flammable Skirt is the debut of a major American writer. A 1998 New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Selected by the Los Angeles Times as one of the best works of fiction of 1998.

Very good quality item.
Color: Small-brown
OMGOSH! I love this purse! It is exactly what I've been searching for. I don't normally carry a purse. Wearing jeans or pants most of the time, I use my pockets: phone, flat wallet, lipstick, keys, and I'm ready to go. Occasionally, however, I wear an outfit where the phone is too bulky, like in a dress pocket, or there are no pockets at all. Not sure how I came to own such clothing, but be that as it may, I've been looking for a purse that would be simple, functional, and cute. I don't like large purses and phone size purses are just too small that even my few items overstuff them. Then I end up clipping the keys on the side which is not very sophisticated looking (more hobo than boho) So the search has been ongoing, until my package arrived today! Yay!
This little Iswee purse is PERFECT! It has a clean design with just a few simple elements that give it that polished look. I got the small (6" high & 9" wide) in brown leather. The color is that warm, orangy-brown that I love. The leather is soft but sturdy not supple like a slouch bag but not stiff like a clutch. It is fully lined with interior and exterior, zippered and slide-in pockets. The hardware is a gunmetal color and heavy, seemingly of good quality. The over the shoulder strap can be adjusted with the buckle from 40" to 47" (length includes hardware) and is of a stiffer, belt like leather.
(It even smells like leather)
I may just order another in a fun color. It's worth every penny.

Small but holds alot
Color: Large Coffee
Love this bag! Dis a bit of research as I wanted a zipped bag, with outside pockets for my phone and not those inner pockets for holding credit cards. This is perfect for me. Very nicely put together and is a perfect color of brown. I will be using this alot.
