In Mannequin and Wife, the debut story collection from Jen Fawkes, sharp and imaginative tales trip seamlessly across borderlands, navigating comedy and tragedy, psychological and magical realism, the mundane and the marvelous.

Readers of these adventurous fictions will encounter a flock of stenographers, the strongest woman alive, a taxidermist with anger issues, an Elephant Girl, a fairy on her lunch break, and a married couple who live with a department store mannequin. Elsewhere, an American actor impersonates a code-breaking Britisher during World War II. A mother awaiting her son's return discovers his personal ad soliciting the services of a cannibal (and fears the worst). A criminal mastermind's prot g plots the destruction of Mount Rushmore from within an extinct volcano. A man buys a drive-in theater and transforms it into a carnival sideshow. And an attorney puzzles over how to leave someone his deceased client's heart.

Fawkes's award-winning stories examine the vagaries of human relationships--mother and child, husband and wife, mentor and prot g --to tease out the startling complications that arise from our entanglements with those we loathe and those we love.

Easy to use.
Color: Grey, Size: 6 Panel
These are easy to put together and to use. We have used them with all the panels. We have also used them broke down into 2 and 3 panels. They work well for blocking views. They don't block noise or help quiet the room being used, however. Only bad thing about them. We use them for our Auxiliary meetings.

Easy to assemble. Still used for over a year 🙌🏾
Color: White, Size: 6 Panel
Everything is perfect! I would buy again in other colors and heights if I need additional separation in the basement.

Cheap Garbage
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel
This item is just cheap crap. Shoddily put together, shoddy materials, and looks cheap. If you’re just putting it in a space that you don’t really care that it’s cheap, then it might be fine for what you need. But don’t expect much.

Keeps areas separated
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
Item arrived quickly. I use this to keep my cats out of a part of the cellar. Works great. They've figured out how to slip through side. I made a panel that covers those spots. Still the best item to keep area separate.
