Reviews
"A strikingly original collection. This book is poetic, yet has a deep sense of storytelling."
Laura Long, author of Out of Peel Tree and editor of Eyes Burning at the Edge of the Woods: Fiction and Poetry from West Virginia
"Erin Pringle's stories leave you no choice. They sing so gorgeously, break your heart so perfectly, that you're forced to revise your understanding of loss, luck, and love."
Tom Noyes, author of Come by Here: A Novella and Stories
"In these restless and relentless fictions, the unstoppable storyteller Erin Pringle is at it again. "It" being the most American of dramas--the endless conflict between mobility and stability. In these patently patient, transparently transparent, overly understated stories, the characters constantly fidget and fret in low frequency worries all the while their vital signs are sighing and simmering. These are pristine and persistent visions of hobble-hearted people going nowhere fast. Her writing, word after word, will stop you in your tracks, will ease you over the edgiest of edges. Don't blink!
--Michael Martone, author of Michael Martone and Four for a Quarter
"There's no writer working today who excites me more than Erin Pringle. Her stories stretch like planks off a cliff, past solid ground, offering breath-stealing views of grief, love, and mystery. I love this collection."
-- Owen Egerton, author of The Book of Harold and writer and director of the thriller Follow
