AN OPRAH DAILY BEST SUMMER READS OF 2025 PICK "Fans of Lorrie Moore can quench their thirst for witty short stories and self-aware, smart-ass narrators with these tales of love and work in New York City in the 1970s and '80s." "This collection of 14 stories, brimming with scrappy characters navigating life in New York in the 70s and 80s, is both a kaleidoscopic period piece and a timeless exploration of the complexities of human relationships."-- The New York Times Book Review "The best short story writer you've never heard of."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred) Praise for Queen for a Day "An engrossing and compassionate collection showing motherhood in its most unrelenting form." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Maxine Rosaler's stories are both hard-edged and comic, both laced with despair and hopeful against all expectation. New York City is the setting, a struggle to prosper in the face of bad choices and deeply ingrained perversity is the theme. Constant, however, is a narrative voice that proves irresistible, and a craftsman's approach to the construction of these contemporary parables."-- C. Michael Curtis, Fiction Editor, The Atlantic "Rosaler writes of Mimi's ongoing struggle from firsthand experience and instills in her protagonist such fierce resolve to do all she can for her son while simultaneously limning awkward episodes with ironic humor; the reader becomes immersed in all that the diagnosis of autism in one's child must entail."-- Booklist, "Maxine Rosaler's stories are both hard-edged and comic, both laced with despair and hopeful against all expectation.

Synopsis
Set in the vanished world of the New York City of the 1970s and '80s, these stories convey a sense of the enchantment that lurks on the flip side of every moment, as if the meaning of life were hidden within the static being blasted out of the loudspeakers on a subway platform, or a scrap of newspaper preserved under ice on a cold winter's day. A girl tries to save the boy she loves from his crippling love for his uncle. A champion of social justice talks herself into believing that the man she finds sexually repulsive is a perfect fit for her perfectly ordered life. A man kneels on the sidewalk before a memorial he constructed for his girlfriend as a crowd of curious onlookers gather around him. Rosaler deals out the fates of a vivid array of complex characters with unflagging energy, wit and a delight in the details of city life.
