520 |a Alix Ohlin delivers a masterclass in the short story with We Want What We Want, populated by bad parents, burned potential and inescapable old flames. In the mordantly funny "Money, Geography, Youth," Vanessa arrives home after volunteering in Ghana, only to discover that her father is engaged to her childhood best friend. In the subversive "The Brooks Brothers Guru," Amanda drives to upstate New York to rescue her cousin from a cult, only to discover well-dressed men living together in a beautiful abode, drinking cocktails and exchanging classical knowledge. In "The Universal Particular," Tamar welcomes her husband's young relative from Somalia into her Stockholm home, only to find her life knocked askew in ways she doesn't quite understand. Each story in We Want What We Want is diamond-sharp, sparkling with humor, pain and beauty.
