Glass/Fire
"Deluged with gorgeous language and imagery, Mandira Pattnaik's novella-in-flash Glass/Fire reveals the magic in the malleability of prose and style. Powerful, complex, and emotional, Pattnaik wonderfully threads a narrative about families and friends and loss and love, showing the possibilities of what happens when glass is set under pressure-some might not make it, cracking and shattering, while others carve their own existences, using heat and friction to shape their lives. From rain to mangoes, all natural elements serve a purpose, and Glass/Fire encompasses galaxies and channels them through its characters, blending scientific truths and harsh realities with hope, leading the reader into the unknown capabilities of fiction." -Shome Dasgupta, author of Atchafalaya Darling

How Far I've Come
"I'm enthralled by the deadpan weird found in so many of Kim Magowan's stories, where the strange doesn't so much intrude upon the real but rather insist it is the real. How Far I've Come is such a smart, moving, funny collection, by a writer who never fails to thrill and surprise me." -Matt Bell, author of Appleseed "Kim Magowan's new collection circumnavigates the tense world of fractured relationships. We're inside and outside, straddling and stomping away from divorces and affairs and threesomes with lapsed Christians. It's such an achievement, all the longing and lust stretched between two covers. I couldn't put it down." --Sherrie Flick, author of Thank Your Lucky Stars "I learn so muc...
