I was honored to blurb this new book from Sara Jaffe (author of Dryland)! These stories crackle and hum, bristle and buzz; they charge the air with their characters’ queer wants while asking and showing what stories--and music--can do. And the prose! ...more |

Going to be processing this one for a while! Unlike any other novel I've read... except other novels by Shirley Jackson. I can't believe this was just her second novel. Wow. Incredible psychological acuity; formidable powers of social observation. A ...more | |

A withering study of rural French culture in a fabulist register, this strange and mysterious book had me spellbound until the end - which I found disappointing. Maybe will revisit. Marie NDiaye is one of a kind and I want to read her whole ouevre. | |

“What story? Nothing bad had ever happened to you. You had no real problems. That was the problem. You barely existed at all.”
― Margaret and the Mystery of the Missing Body
― Margaret and the Mystery of the Missing Body
“People ask, How did you get in here? What they really want to know is: How did they get in here themselves? You can't acknowledge the real question, because the truth is: it's easy.
And it is easy to slip into a parallel universe. There are so many of them: worlds of the insane, the criminal, the dying: art. These worlds exist alongside this world and resemble it, but are not in it.
Thank god. Without these other worlds, we would have no way of surviving this one.”

“I wouldn't mind it if my body went missing, I thought, then paused to think that through. If we all went around in just our brains, sooner or later we'd be calling our brains too fat, too gray, too slimy... Which obviously wouldn't solve anything.”
