Show don’t tell

Curtis Sittenfeld’s ‘Show Don’t Tell’ is a razor-sharp, glittering collection of stories exploring marriage and female friendship. In these twelve dazzling stories, Sittenfeld skewers our assumptions about fame, marriage and celebrity. Laying bare on the page what we’re all thinking but hesitate to say, she explores women’s lives at the intersection of sex, love, ambition and the entangled pursuit of a fulfilling life.
