Description
Their marriage and - each in a different way - the limits of their knowledge. Set in 1950s Milwaukee, "Alligator Dance" depicts a fourth grader's sexual awakening as she is attracted and repelled by a Polish boy's totemic words, images, and their mysterious meanings, and by her own confusing desires. Eager to please her lawyer father, a young girl in "The Waco Wego" accompanies him to a meeting with a murderer's mother at a truckstop where she confronts the complexities.
