A woman grieves the loss of a sister, a \"gay divorce,\" and the pain of unacknowledged abuse with the help of a lone wallaby on a farm in Washington State. A professor of women's and gender studies revels in academic and sexual power but risks losing custody of the family dog. \u003cbr\u003e In Corinne Manning's stunning debut story collection, a cast of queer characters explore the choice of assimilation over rebellion. In this historical moment that's hyperaware of and desperate to define even the slowest of continental shifts, when commitment succumbs to the logic of capitalism and nobody knows what to call each other or themselves--Gay? Lesbian? Queer? Partners? Dad?--who are we? And if we don't know who we are, what exactly can we offer each other? \u003cbr\u003e Spanning the years 1992 to 2019, and moving from New York to North Carolina to Seattle, the eleven first-person stories in \u003ci\u003eWe Had No Rules\u003c\/i\u003e feature characters who feel the promise of a radically reimagined world but face complicity instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorinne Manning is a prose writer and literary organizer.
