"...Aronson’s stories mainly occur on the beaches of Miami and American suburbs, but each environment plays a major role in defining the attitudes of her characters and the choices they make. Her post-modern style prose is almost hallucinogenic at times, mesmerizing her audience to read further. Aronson’s stories are real situations, relatable and readers easily care about the characters they are reading about. Such stories include a girl running away as far as can; and then further after...Her talent for description also enhances the stories and heightens the readers’ awareness to comprehend the emotions of her characters. From pain to hope, and the journey in between, Aronson takes her readers far."

“Virginia Aronson is at the top of her game as she captures the experience of being a modern woman in South Florida Spin. Insightful, warm, and laugh-out-loud funny, these riveting short stories will be hard to put down for anyone interested in what makes contemporary relationships tick.”
--Arnold Arluke, PhD, Professor of Sociology, Northeastern University, and author of Just a Dog, Brute Force, and The Sacrifice
“Virginia Aronson’s stories provide a kaleidoscopic view on an interesting and, at times, bizarre life. She offers remarkable imagery and prose with the sensibility of a poet.”
--Helen Burstin, MD, MPH, General Internist, Washington, DC
South Florida Spin is an offbeat collection of short stories that together weave an enduring image of the loves and losses of a modern American woman, a girl who ran as far as she could, and then kept running. Written in alluring, almost hallucinatory prose, South Florida Spin is also funny and sharp, edgy and authentic, provocative and ultimately life-affirming.
Virginia Aronson is the author of 28 nonfiction books for both young and adult readers. Her poetry has appeared in dozens of literary journals. She lives in South Florida with her husband and son. South Florida Spin is her first fiction collection.
