HTML:<b>This collection of stories set in contemporary America—a finalist for the National Book Award—herald a work of singular literary merit by an important writer at the height of her power.</b><br /> <br /> We think about it every day, sometimes every hour: Money. Who has it. Who doesn't. How you get it. How you don't.<br /> <br /> In <i>Refund</i>, Bender creates an award-winning collection of stories that deeply explore the ways in which money and the estimation of value affect the lives of her characters. The stories in <i>Refund</i> reflect our contemporary world—swindlers, reality show creators, desperate artists, siblings, parents—who try to answer the question: What is the real definition of worth?<br /> <br /> In "Theft," an eighty-year-old swindler, accustomed to tricking people for their money, boards a cruise ship to see if she can find something of true value—a human connection. In "Anything for Money," the creator of a reality show is thrown into the real world when his estranged granddaughter reenters his life in need of a new heart; and in the title story, young artist parents in downtown Manhattan escape the attack on 9/11 only to face a battle over their subletted apartment with a stranger who might have lost more than only her deposit.
