Catapult : short stories from the Man Booker Prize shortlisted author of History of wolves
Fridlund, Emily2018
Book
Sometimes calculating, at other times bewildered, this title's characters orbit around each other, enacting a deeply human tragicomedy of wit, misunderstanding, and loss. With dexterous, atmospheric, and darkly comic prose, Fridlund conjures worlds where longing is open-ended, intentions misfire, and the line between comfort and cruelty is often difficult to discern. This is a gripping collection, unsettling as much in its familiarity as in its near-gothic strangeness.
