Maidenhead is a series of chamberfictions inhabited by a young woman named Alice. Linked in a dreamlike way, these short stories describe Alice's survival in a world of bizarre logic and strange emotions; it's a place where miracles unfold in the bathroom and desire appears on a bus, where menacing joggers roam the suburbs and there's something sinister about hats.
"Maidenhead began as a collection of about twenty very short stories. Some described singular events, more like imagetableaux than stories; some resembled classic littler tale. All were written by my dreams." (Marie Craven)
