Starting in the tile-flecked kitchen first thing in the morning and ending in Izzy’s dungeon-like bedroom moments later, the text lets us as readers eavesdrop on a conversation about moving that boils over rather quickly. When all is said and done, parent and child are left separated by a closed door (as well as vastly different perspectives on their journeys away from home).

Leslie Bell’s “Hard to Get: Twenty-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom,” Martha Stout’s “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday,” and Andrew Solomon’s “Son” collectively address the idea that one of the consequences of individuals’ interactions with others…
