La fille en jupe inflammable
by Aimee Bender
Une riche héritière passe ses journées à observer les hommes dans le métro, et parfois les suit ; une femme se demande comment vivre avec un homme dont la bouche est une prothèse ; une bibliothécaire est prise d'un désir frénétique pour tous les hommes qui viennent emprunter des livres... Des personnages aux pouvoirs étonnants et aux désirs extravagants.
