DAMAGE CONTROL is an accomplished collection of short stories by acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Amber Dermont. Much as in her debut novel, The Starboard Sea, the author is concerned with questions of privilege, coming of age, responsibility, and sexuality. Damage Control displays her remarkable gift for portraying characters at crossroads, her distinctive voice, and her talent for creating memorable scenes. In "Lyndon, " a daughter visits presidential landmarks following the death of her father. In the title story, a young man works at an etiquette school while his girlfriend is indicated for embezzlement. A widow rents herself to elderly women and vacations with them as a professional grandchild in "Stella at the Winter Palace, " and in "The Language of Martyrs, " a couple houses a mail-order bride on behalf of the husband's Russian mother. Many of Dermont's stories have previously been published in literary magazines and have also been featured in anthologies edited by Jane Smiley and Dave Eggers.
