Fire Season (2022)
Leyna Krow
"Leyna Krow is a master of literary sleight of hand. Fire Season will convince you it's a satire of the early American West, while subtly inching into different territory. It's a completely new kind of story: a genre-bender that teases out strange, wry, beautiful surprises from familiar tropes. Imagine Jane Campion taking over a Coen Brothers film for the denouement. As in her short stories, Leyna Krow is the usher sneaking you in the side door of a future cult classic."
Heart Spring Mountain (2018)
Robin MacArthur
"Traveling back and forth in time, Robin MacArthur renders both the Vermont landscape and Vale’s family tree with poetic precision and gutting realism. I fell in love with these women and their mountain."
