Praise for Woman, Running Late, in a Dress:
 
Dallas Woodburn’s collection of interwoven stories shows real maturity about the complexities of relationships of all kinds, and she doesn’t shirk from the painful experiences of her characters. Even so, the writing is so lively and the scenes so engaging that the reader gets to move fluidly between heft and lightness. A terrific debut! 
—Aimee Bender, author of The Color Master and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
 
Dallas Woodburn writes with rare insight and compassion about the aching glory of being young. These skillfully connected stories still resonate long after they’re read.
—Hilma Wolitzer, author of An Available Man and The Doctor's Daughter
 
Dallas Woodburn's Woman, Running Late, in a Dress is a stunning collection, its stories full of tragedy and grace in equal measure. Deeply moving.
