| Publisher Description: A single streetcar line runs around the sleepy suburban square of an unnamed city. One day--out of nowhere--a group of hapless refugees pour from the streetcar and set up camp in the square. The residents grow hostile to the disruption and chaos, and eventually take matters into their own hands... Flaw is Tulli's most intense and personally motivated work to date, while still retaining the signature mind-and word-play so admired by critics and her growing readership. |
