She Says reimagines six famous short stories by and (largely about) men, giving voice to a silenced or secondary woman character. From the woman who giggles during a bank robbery (Tobias Wolff's "Bullet in the Brain") to the woman whose new pet parrot is actually her deceased husband ("Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot" by Robert Olen Butler), these stories pose adjacent possibilities, an exercise in creative criticism on one end and fan fiction on the other. Murvin utilizes emotion and thoughtful prose to focus on the often forgotten women of these stories, inspired by such works as Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley.
