First published in 1988, the award-winning Trash showcases Allison at her most fearlessly honest and startlingly vivid. The limitless scope of human emotion and experience are depicted in stories that give aching and eloquent voice to the terrible wounds we inflict on those closest to us. These are tales of loss and redemption; of shame and forgiveness; of love and abuse and the healing power of storytelling.

A book that resonates with uncompromising candor and incandescence, Trash is sure to captivate Allison's legion of readers and win her a devoted new following.

Review of 'Trash' on 'Goodreads'

These stories were written early in Dorothy Allison's career, and they are edgy, angry, and honest. Some of the stories are more detailed, or similar accounts of things that happened in her most famous novel, Bastard Out of Carolina. Some of the stories also portray her love life, and others are about her complicated relationships with family.
