Description
Navigating the world of dating can be like wandering an enchanted forest, full of creatures with peculiar habits and baffling behavior. In Wood Nymph Seeks Centaur, Francesca Lia Block provides a guide to this often-treacherous terrain, classifying all those mystifying men and women into various types of mythical forest fauna-Fauns and Werewolves, Mermaids and Banshees.

Praise for Francesca Lia Block"Lyrical, resonant fables... At once modern and mythic, her series deserves as much space as it can command of daydream nation's shrinking bookshelves."
-Village Voice on Dangerous Angels"Block uses the fairytale motif as a vehicle to convey the tangled-up truths that girls face on the road to becoming women... As inspiring as [it is] transgressive."
-Bust on Necklace of Kisses"A fizzy cocktail of Joseph Campbell, 'Sex and the City', and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, filtered through the blunt-edged poetry of rock lyrics... A welcome reminder that midlife is still ripe for magic."
