Critics Review
‘A magnificent collection, ravenous with longing, radiant with life … Chia’s voice is unforgettable and her sympathies become, in these tales, their own superpower.’
– Junot Díaz, author of Pulitzer Prize winner The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao‘Grace Chia practices sorcery. Her masterful command of the language is a spell all storytellers aspire to cast. This mesmerising collection of short stories demands that all mobile devices be switched off and the bedroom door locked, for no interruptions must be tolerated.’
– Sebastian Sim, author of Epigram Books Fiction Prize winner The Riot Act‘Like the best of her poetry, Grace Chia’s short stories cut to the quick of what matters: What makes the soul tick, itch and hunger? An incisive, insightful read.’
– Felix Cheong, poet and graphic novelist of The Showgirl and the MinisterGrace Chia
