Aimee Bender's unusual short story "The Rememberer" was first published in the Missouri Review in the autumn of 1997. In 1998, Bender included a story called "girls of flammable skirts" in her first series. Most stories in the series have a surreal fairytale-like quality and some unique physical change (eg, in the story the women gave birth to her mother and her My husband woke up and found it) One of his holes, the "football size of the stomach") "Memorator" began to evolve from a man to a baboon and a turtle overnight in the opposite direction It is a story of a woman. The situation is very strange, but it is in a realistic environment; these characters have an inconspicuous relationship, ordinary work, and an ordinary family. Normal and strange juxtaposition is a symbol of magical realism, a contemporary literary genre used by writers such as Gabriel García Marquez and Angela Carter.
