In The Rooms Of A Tiny House

by Megan Merchant

“Merchant expertly reimagines the Adam and Eve myth in this collection; in lieu of Eden, we have a tiny house, a dollhouse perhaps, a metaphorical fish bowl where we can observe Eve loom large as loving partner, shameless adulteress, and eager mother-to-be.”

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

A modern-day exploration of Eden, with Eve wandering outside of the confines of Adam's predicated boundaries contemplating the confines. What does Eve want to escape from in this Eden of their own making? "Her ribs are creaking wide against/ the walls of the tiny house." Worth multiple reads, from front to back.
