“Kasbeer is a born raconteur whose stories name some of the loneliest parts of growing up female and turn them joyful with insight and levity." —MELISSA FEBOS
“In this moving and propulsive collection, the author explores how trauma transforms us—and the miraculous ways trauma itself can be transformed. In A Woman, a Plan, an Outline of a Man, one woman picks up the pieces of a typical all-American girlhood: the abusive boyfriends, the sexual assaults, and the pervasive feelings of isolation and shame. I emerged from this collection oddly hopeful about the process of healing, especially if it can bring us a book like this.” —ALICE BOLIN
“An astonishing collection not for the faint of heart. Kasbeer speaks the unspoken and dares to be vulnerable in a world of facades.” —CHLOE CALDWELL
“Sarah’s ability to explore the complexity of emotions—the range between ecstasy, guilt, shame and power that most young women feel at some time or another in their lifetime—is at times dazzling and captivating, while also uncomfortable in the bold truths she does not shy away from. A Woman, a Plan, an Outline of a Man is a book every woman will relate to and every man should understand.” —TYRESE COLEMAN
“This book is a goddamn treasure; it is a dagger and an emancipation, a slice and a stitch, as devastating as it is darkly funny.” —MIRA PTACIN
