Pamela Gwyn Kripke’s short story collection, And Then You Apply Ice (Open Books), looks at transgression and resilience in the lives of women and girls. From fellow author and Brunonian Elizabeth Stix: “In Pamela Gwyn Kripke’s accessible and surprising collection of stories, we glimpse into the rich inner lives of women exploring their boundaries in the world: mothers and daughters; lovers on the brink of connecting or falling apart; and girls discovering what it means to move among boys who claim to love them, whether they want them to or not. With humor and lyricism, Kripke creates characters who struggle to understand each other and themselves, only to find they need more than just ice to soothe their pain.”
