โฆ Synopsis
A new, much anticipated collection of stories from the inimitable Kelly Link.
'These nine stories may begin in familiar territory - a birthday party, a theme park, a bar, a spaceship - but they quickly draw readers into an imaginative, disturbingly ominous world of realistic fantasy and unreal reality. Like Kafka hosting Saturday Night Live , Link mixes humour with existential dread...Her characters, driven by yearning and obsession, not only get in trouble but seek trouble out - to spectacular effect.' Publishers Weekly
'Darkly funny, sexy, frightening, and truly weird - Link can dismantle and remake the world in a paragraph.' Karen Russell
'The most darkly playful voice in American fiction.' Michael Chabon
'She is unique and should be declared a national treasure.' Neil Gaiman
**** 'Richly imagined, intellectually teasing: these are not so much small fictions as windows on to entire worlds....
