“In these amazing stories, told with such fierce humor and control, characters reckon with the end of things, the fallout, the cleaning up, but Anderson knows how that loss, that untethering, can create a feeling of ascendancy. That's how I felt reading these stories, lifted up toward something I hoped I'd find.” Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here

Two lesbian librarians launch a life-changing friendship in the back of a pickup truck at Texas Gay Pride in 1989. The Queen of the Stilt Walkers fights off her larcenous brother to keep her home. A lesbian former foster child endures Kundalini yoga class in her quest for love. A murderous nun takes revenge on her mother for forcing her into the convent. Dogs keep biting a new lesbian couple and they don’t know why. Sisters fight off an invasion of mice in the room where their mother is dying.

Filled with crackling humor and surprising loves, Vamoose is a propulsive collection of fifteen stories of women leading lives of self-determination, small triumphs, and subversive pleasures.
