Trinie Dalton writes music, book, and art criticism in addition to fiction. Her new collection of short stories, Wide Eyed is the most recent installment in Dennis Cooper's Little House on the Bowery series. These stories are by turns innocent and dark, fantastic and nightmarish, sprinkled throughout with psychic communications with exotic animals and rock idols all set in a contemporary Los Angeles colored with the myth and magic of long ago. The book she co-edited for McSweeney's, Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is, was also released in 2005.
