Finalist for the VCU Cabell First Fiction Prize "Nina was a thief, technically, although she never defined herself that way. Stealing was sponsorship. Fighting was the passion." Street-fighter Nina Black lives by her fists in Denver, stealing wallets and taking advantage of men who try to take advantage of her.
