Erika Krouse's debut story collection about sex and the single girl is smart, sharp-tongued and delightfully addictive. The thirteen stories in this collection are linked by a common theme: the main characters are all young, childless, geographically and emotionally nomadic women who are searching for self-knowledge and satisfaction in the face of the vicissitudes of single life. In Krouse's able hands, each of these agile stories manages to cull universal truth from idiosyncratic experience and delirious humor out of deepest pathos. "The Fast" is about a woman who seeks power, independence and immunity from heartbreak through a brief flirtation with a latte diet. "Drugs and You" is the story of an innocent woman who hits a heroin addict with her car and falls blindly in love. In "My Weddings," a woman nearing thirty relates a lifetime of attending nuptials, none of them her own. Mae West, pop culture's original Liberated Woman, is the ingenious guiding spirit of the collection. Her famous quips "Peel me a grape," "Come up and see me sometime," "I used to be Snow White but I drifted" stand as both complement and telling counterpoint to the lives of Krouse's diverse characters. These are smart, searching, quick-witted women who may strive for the unflappable sass and self-sufficiency of a Mae West, but more often fall prey to their own anxieties.

Attempted because after fits and starts I would give up, deciding I am too uninterestingly neurotic. What future generation would learn any life lessons from the fact that I almost kissed him, but couldn't bring myself to take that last step between friend and lover? Who could possibly give a darn that I have no will power when it comes to chocolate and haven't once had a tidy room? My hope, however, has always been that these recorded inanities would one day tell my story, and that it would be a good one. Well, Erika Krouse has done it. She's taken our daily journals and found several remarkable stories about wonderfully neurotic women, whose magical lives are rooted in reality, not fantasy. The spirit of Mae West, through judicious use of quips and quotes, guides us through the collection. West's irreverent, sassy, strong and entertaining character is the "second story" - the reminder that every woman is a good story unto herself.

28. Bio, Erika Krouse erika krouse has published fiction in the Atlantic Monthly, Story, Ploughshares,Shenandoah, and the Summer Fiction issue of the New Yorker. http://www.freewebs.com/erikakrouse/Bio.html

Bio I just don't understand why we have to do this bio thing. Shouldn't the work stand by itself? If you talk to a literary critic, they make it sound like the "text" sprang intact from some random host body, like a science fiction alien. OK, I don't agree, I think the author's life does have something to do with it. But I get a little anxious when my great aunts read a story and then ask me how long I've been a drug addict, or when my ex-boyfriends call me and say, "That story about our breakup? I didn't see it that way at all." So, grudgingly, here's the bio, just so I look legitimate: Erika Krouse has published fiction in the Atlantic Monthly, Story, Ploughshares, Shenandoah , and the Summer Fiction issue of the New Yorker Come Up and See Me Sometime , is the winner of the Paterson Fiction Award and has been published by Scribner (U.S.) and Fourth Estate (U.K.), and will be published at a future date by BTB (Germany), Vassallucci (Holland), Hayakawa Publishing Company (Japan), Tuttle (Taiwan), Quai Voltaire (France) and Grijalbo (Spain). She is a contributor to the anthology

Contact Me I love letters so much that it takes me forever to answer them. I get kind of neurotic about it, staring at them periodically until the poor sender moves away and my eventual response comes back to me unopened. Ryan Daly from Seattle, where did you go? Also, my briefcase was stolen by some dickhead while I was on vacation. Why do I assume it's a male (re: "dickhead")? Because I called him on my cell phone. Now his cell phone. The conversation was very unsatisfying. I hate him. In the briefcase were all my letters that I was going to answer, in addition to my laptop, full of emails I was also fully intending to answer.

34. Interview With Erika Krause L ight house . Writers W ork shop. Dedicated to the Art and Craft of Writing.Beginning with the End An Interview with erika krouse. Jenny Vacchiano. http://www.lighthousewriters.com/newslett/krause.htm

The Lighthouse: 817 27th Street Denver, CO 80205 p: 303.297.1185 f: 303.292.9425 info@lighthousewriters.com L i g h t h o u s e W r i t e r s W o r k s h o p Dedicated to the Art and Craft of Writing Beginning with the End: An Interview with Erika Krouse Jenny Vacchiano Last summer, Boulder-resident Erika Krouse received one of the highest honors a short story writer can receive: She was picked for the New Yorker's 2001 summer fiction issue. The story they chose, "The Husbands," comes from Erika's debut collection, Come Up and See Me Sometime , also published last year, by Scribner. Each story, as well as the collection itself, is introduced by a Mae West quip-"There was a time I didn't know where my next husband was coming from" is the quip that introduces "The Husbands," for example. It's fitting. The narrators in Erika's stories are female, funny, and brazenly independent, despite temporary blunders into relationships with married men, abusive men, or sometimes simply comically self-absorbed men. Her stories examine what it means to be in a relationship in this day and age, and what it means to be single; they're often dead-on as well as funny. Recently, I had the pleasure of talking with Erika about her writing process.

35. The BEATRICE Interview: 2001 erika krouse. If I were that wild, I wouldn't waste time writing about it. . Iwrote poetry for eight years, erika krouse recalls, but I was an awful poet. http://www.beatrice.com/interviews/krouse/

Erika Krouse "If I were that wild, I wouldn't waste time writing about it." interviewed by Ron Hogan Buy it from Booksense.com "I wrote poetry for eight years," Erika Krouse recalls, "but I was an awful poet. Just lousy. I got published, but not very well, and people made no secret about how they felt about my poetry, either." She laughs, and then explains that since she always preferred to real novels and short stories anyway, she decided to try writing stories for a while."I was used to rejection from the poetry, so it was a really big surprise to me when the stories started selling." Within a few years, she had enough pieces to fill out her first collection, Come Up and See Me Sometime , which came out on the heels of Krouse's appearance in the New Yorker's 2001 summer fiction issue. RH: Why is each story introduced by a quote from Mae West? EK: I could give you a lot of academic reasons, but the main reason is that she was cool. She was a dumpy, short woman who decided she wanted to be a sex symbol, so goddamn it, she became a sex symbol. She created that image for herself and miraculously everyone bought it. Because she was smart, funny, and irresistible.She wrote almost all her dialogue for her movies, and she didn't direct her films, but she picked directors who would do what she said. She created the person she wanted to be, and then she created a demand for that person. That fit in with what I was exploring in terms of identity and women. How do you make yourself fit into the world? How do you make the world fit you? And I love her sense of humor, her brassy non-feminist feminism.
