Her latest collection, \u003ci\u003eThat May Not Mean What You Think\u003c\/i\u003e, explores themes of aging and youth, gender and discrimination, and sex and love. In \"Training Module,\" Crane takes the structure and protocol of workplace harassment prevention training and turns it on its head; \"The Box\" tells the story of a woman trying to recover from divorce with the help of a literal unicorn; and \"The Youngs\" follows a group of teenagers experiencing loss for the first time, clinging to the belief that they'll live forever. Across these delightfully weird and disarmingly truthful stories, American culture is refracted through humor and heart, asking readers to consider their complicity and to imagine new possibilities of participating in a better future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eELIZABETH CRANE\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the memoir \u003ci\u003eThis Story Will Change\u003c\/i\u003e and six works of fiction, including the story collection\u003ci\u003e Turf \u003c\/i\u003eand the novel \u003ci\u003eThe History of Great Things\u003c\/i\u003e.
