I like linked or themed story collections and I absolutely like feisty American females who shoot from the hip. This one took time to build a fanbase in the States - only three amazon.com reviews in year of publication, one the Midwest Book Review, one mine; it took her (somewhat opportunistic?) novel to give this oddball volume traction. How about this, from September 9 last year? 'This book reminded me of a gruesome auto accident. You don't want to look, certainly not appear eager to examine every detail. But you do look & maybe wish you could get around the authorities for a better view. First I decided it was too weird for me. Then I decided maybe I would only read 2or3 stories. After that I was hooked..' Me, I haven't enjoyed a book this much since, hmm.. Beth Lisick's This Too Can Be Yours?First, the reader advisory bit (to weed out the picky)Specimen 1 (p18) I puked in my mouth but absolutely did not open my lips and let it fall on the floorSpecimen 2 (p23) her head...flipped back like a Pez dispenserStill with me? OK, listen up, I think Alissa's a poet. The concept is, loosely, occupations - though not necessarily career choices. From story #3, on being 'space's first whore'(!)- At least I'm not putting makeup on the dead- I decide I should have a space persona. I rename myself Lorna- I'm staring at Earth, which looks like the circular door of some ancient tomb- I cover up the Earth and its oceans with my hand, and then even with the cameras it seems like no one can see meThese stories are too dense to deconstruct. Just read the other space story Deliverywoman, at 20 pages by some way the longest, then Corpse Smoker (yup, you heard), a mere 4 pages, or Zookeeper, all of 2. Should be in school libraries throughout the land (are there still such things in poor old Blighty?) though her editor might have corrected 'in the throws of pleasure' - or maybe not. There's also trod used as a present tense, which I find way less annoying than our use of hove for heave. (It's everywhere; look out for it.)Four of these 'chapters', as Nutting pointedly calls them, are previously unpublished, the rest probably unobtainable. Snap yours up nowDigression (optional): I was first exposed to modern poetry in the library of what was Beckenham and Penge Grammar School. 1961 it was, and it wasn't even poetry, more light verse - still less was it 'modern' - but it got me opening a slim volume for the first time (The Dorking Thigh by William Plomer) and empowered me to make that journey of discovery. I have some forgotten school functionary, who must have acquired it, to thank for that. (We had Eliot at home of course (I say of course!) flanked by Ulysses and the Holy Bible, all faintly musty-looking, but because I associated that with my parents it was hard to see him as modern - and there IS something distinctly eighteen-nineties about him, as I think Roger Fry was the first to point out)And while I'm at it, Lydia Millet's Love in Infant Monkeys should likewise find a place in every school library (here I'm deadly serious; if there was a fund - if there were school libraries - I would contribute to it myself). David Sedaris' Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk and David Eagleman's Sum are other clear no-brainers, all in short forms - but WHY ARE THEY ALL AMERICAN? We in Britain are always bleating that no-one buys short stories any more while the rest of the world, including Ireland, blithely carries on churning 'em out. Chunter chunter.

I have never read anything quite like "Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls" by Alissa Nutting, although there may be a comparison to be drawn between this book of short stories and the Fairy Tales collected by the Brothers Grimm.Alissa Nutting has an amazing "outside of the box" imagination. Each of her stories found in the Table of Jobs at the beginning of the book is quirky, to say the least, if not totally weird. They all feature a female as the central character and the title of the story is an indication of her role in life. I was particularly intrigued by the titles "Dinner", "Ant Colony" and "Dancing Rat". Some of the stories are amusing, some are very sad, others are downright gruesome, but what they have in common is powerful imaginative writing that draws you into each story.If you enjoyed the weirdness of some of Grimm's Fairy Tales when you were a child, you may well love this collection of tales. I know I did!I would like to thank NetGalley for the chance to read this for free, in return for an honest review.

Highly recommended for people who enjoy challenging, innovative, experimental fiction. The stories swing successfully from the comic to the tragic. Frequently bleak but manages to be emotive and tender in places. A brilliant collection of dark and inventive shorts.
