by Niki Aguirre
From an incredible new talent come ten stories that fizz with the irreverence of ZZ Packer, the time-bending antics of Borges, the layered mystery of Alice Munro and whiffs of Marquez’s surrealism. Long-listed for the Frank O'Connor short story award, identified by International PEN as a writer for the future and currently in the running for the People's Book Prize, Niki Aguirre, with her stunning début, has given notice of her arrival as a writer worth reading again and again.
“Niki Aguirre is that rarest of writers, one who possesses an exuberant imagination, but who also casts a devastatingly sharp eye on human reality.“ - Laila Lalami
“such wonderful yarns” - Inpressbooks.co.uk
"Mixing the passion of autobiographical honesty with a mystical sense of universal magic, Niki Aguirre brings her literary world to vivid life. The characters love and despair, haunt and intrigue... Her exquisite tales resonate long after the last page..." - Courttia Newland; author of The Scholar, The Society Within and Snakeskin
