With JERKS, Sara Lippmann rides the proverbial clutch between wanting and having. Ambivalent mothers, aging suburbanites, restless teens, survivalist parents, and disaffected wives--desire is a live wire, however frayed, a reminder that life, for all its sputtering stall outs, is still worth living.
