<p>In her first collection since the Pulitzer Prize finalist <i>Love in Infant Monkeys</i> Lydia Millet presents a web of stories that explore what it means to be home. A real-estate broker is the first character and moral center of a larger narrative about a fractured family reconnecting in unexpected ways. Warm romantic relationships shocking tragedy and a satisfying plot are infused as usual with Millet's blistering wit dazzling intellect and sometimes surreal touch.</P><P><i>Fight No More</i> introduces an eclectic cast: strong-minded female narrators beset by hapless male relations myopic business people contending with unexpected setbacks and beastly men doing beastly things. Fresh off the critical triumph of <i>Sweet Lamb of Heaven</i> which was longlisted for the National Book Award Millet is pioneering a new kind of satire that's hilariously brutal in its depiction of modern American life while also being compassionate toward those who are caught up in its tidal forces.</P>
