Magic Realism discussion

We are offering an e-book of The Puppet Turners of Narrow Interior by Stephanie Barbe Hammer in exchange for an honest review no later than three weeks after you receive the book. The Puppet Turners of Narrow Interiors is a thought- provoking literary fiction novel about identity and creativity that merges magical realism, fantasy, and a distinctly American brand of humor.

“Just down the road from John Crowley’s characters is the town of Narrow Interior, the setting for Stephanie Hammer’s fable-ous first novel of secrets and heritage. Henry, the youngest son of a hotel magnate, is sent to calm the inhabitants as the hoteliers set about to despoil this odd byway. Instead, aided by his black sheep cousin and a cast of quirky characters, including Quirk, Henry sets out to discover the town secrets. The more he learns, the darker his mission appears, until Henry must choose if he is willing to risk all. Both fresh and redolent of ancient stories, The Puppet Turners of Narrow Interior brings us a new voice as Hammer applies her considerable knowledge and talent to the world of fiction.” –Kathleen Alcalá, The Desert Remembers My Name and Spirits of the Ordinary

"If Dali and Leonora Carrington and John Berryman had built a sports car together and then somehow turned it into writing, it would race right next to Hammer's novel; this is weird, fast, spunky, and wonderfully stubbornly itself. Wear a helmet" - Aimee Bender.
