The characters in Jennifer Down's Pulse Points live in small dusty towns, glittering exotic cities and slow droll suburbs; they are mourners, survivors and perpetrators. In the award-winning 'Aokigahara', a young woman travels to the sea of trees in Japan to say goodbye. In 'Coarsegold', a woman conducts an illicit affair while her recovering girlfriend works the overnight motel shift in the middle of nowhere. In 'Dogs', Foggo runs an unruly gang of bored, cruel boys with a scent for fresh meat. In 'Pressure Okay' a middle-aged man goes to the theatre, gets a massage, remembers his departed wife, navigates the long game of grief with his adult daughter.

"Wes didn't mind feminists so much. He believed in equal pay, he just didn't know why they needed to be so shrill about everything. Sometimes it seemed to him as if Kirsten saw everything as an attack. He didn't understand all the emancipation. Years ago he'd said to Miranda, I thought it was something she'd get out if her system while she was a teenager. His wife looked at him and laughed. She'd said -That is the system-. Maybe he'd answered with something thick, because he remembered Miranda looking at him with something like pity or patience and staying -Darling, that's the only way for women to survive-. He hadn't thought about it in years. Remembering it now made him ache in a new, hot way; that his wife and daughter had shared it, that he couldn't access it, that it wasn't his to understand." ( )
