I'm Fine, But You Appear to Be Sinking
Leyna Krow
(Author)
Description
Although they are not directly linked by any specific character, the pieces in this collection are bound through reoccurring imagery and a shared theme of protagonists in emotional peril. There are unexpected appearances and disappearances, movement of inanimate objects, the search for something lost, the finding of something unusual. There are prophesies, dreams, unidentifiable creatures, and environmental catastrophes on a scale both large and small. There are action figures and octopuses, sullen teenagers and missing cats. At their core, these stories are imbued with mystery, oddity, humor, and empathy. They each stand on their own, but mean considerably more when read together.

About the Author
Reviews
--Greg Spatz, author of Half as Happy
"Leyna Krow's stories range far and wide -- from outer space to the ocean depths to the distant future -- but they are bound by a crackling wit, an inventive vitality, a laser eye for the silent currents between people, and a sneaky emotional power. I'm Fine But You Appear to be Sinking is a wildly imagined debut, a blast of fleet power."
--Shawn Vestal, author of Daredevils and Godforsaken Idaho
"Leyna Krow's stories crackle with fearless curiosity and an expansive, embracing wonder towards time and the world. I'm Fine but You Appear to Be Sinking is an antidote to every cynical, self-centered impulse."
--James Tadd Adcox, author of Repetition and Does Not Love
"What a wonderful book Leyna Krow has written! And what a rare book - innovative, clever, funny, deliciously language-driven, delightful dialogue - but also so very warm and human. It's about humans, it's for humans, it makes me feel better about being a human reading this book about humans. A joy to read."
--Amber Sparks, author of The Unfinished World, The Desert Places, and May We Shed These Human Bodies
