Rent Baby's on Fire: Stories

Synopsis

"Liz Prato's characters blaze with humanity, sensuality, and hope. Her writing glitters
and her stories push us to the edge: Prato rubs her people together until they spark, in a
book that throbs with heart--and grips our own." --Dylan Landis, Rainey Royal

"Liz Prato's stories are filled with the lost, the lonely, and the damned, and she makes all
of them sing with a haunting grandeur. Baby's on Fire is a lamentation brimming with
wit, candor, and the eternal possibility of mercy." --Steve Almond, Candyfreak, God Bless America

"In her terrific debut, Baby's on Fire, Liz Prato pulls off the ultimate balancing act: the stories are at once beautifully written and tremendously compelling -- not to mention filled with characters so full of life that they feel as real as people we know. A knockout collection."
--Molly Antopol, The UnAmericans

"Reading this book felt like talking to a good friend with good music on in the
background. Liz Prato's stories are great fun to read, and funny, and warm as can be, so
even when they are painful and sad, they still genuinely welcome a reader."--Aimee Bender, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
