Haggard, Kit

"The stories in this collection seek to represent what is already surreal—loss, womanhood, queerness—by distorting the familiar. These characters come uncoupled from their lives in various ways, which force them to examine absences, relationships, acts of violence, and familial connections. Fabulist elements call attention to this process of evaluation, collapsing the distance between what is internal and what is external." --Abstract.
