What would you do if you lost your mother to cancer and left you alone with a father and three teenage brothers; left you living "in the land of men?" What would you do if said brothers, Les, Sam & Donald, find and kidnap your rapist? He's in the trunk of the family car and their only question to you is, what do you want to do? The story leaves you hanging, holding your breath. "Goodbye Midwest" could also have been called "Goodbye Roxanne." It's the story of an adult woman looking back on a lost friendship from childhood. Best friends from middle school, Roxanne was her opposite in everything. Why they were even friends in the first place is a mystery...but that's the beauty of coming of age. Everything is a mystery.

In this powerful collection of stories, Antonya Nelson portrays women whose lives have slipped loose from their moorings and the men who can't really anchor them. Here we meet Roxanne, the tomboy who consistently chooses men who are not her equal; the loving Marta, whose husband keeps a separate house where he retreats when married life overwhelms him; and Bebe, a married mother of two teenagers who leaves it all behind when her lover comes on a motorcycle to claim her. With painfully keen perception, Nelson creates stories that linger in the mind long after they are read, and which create a unique view of relations between the sexes in the small towns and big cities of America.
