Man and Wife
Man and Wife | Katie Chase
7 posts | 5 read | 20 to read
Fiction. From Twilight Zone suburbia to cities on fire to post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan, these award-winning stories range over unexpected landscapes and land squarely in the wildness of the human heart. "Katie Chase's stories have a rhythm, a form, and a mesmerism all their own." Kevin Brockmeier "Toggling between the comic and the horrific, these brilliant stories rearrange the familiar into something more nuanced, fraught, and mysterious." Edan Lepucki "With sharp, confident consideration of what it takes to survive in the world as a woman, Man and Wife introduces an important new literary voice." Danielle Evans "Katie Chase's narrators sound like the girl-next-door if you lived next door to a parallel universe." Peter Ho Davies "Captivating, haunting, and eerily smart. Every story in this collection gave me chills. Katie Chase is one of a kind." Jennifer DuBois"

SO GOOD! SO GOOD! It has been a while since I truly enjoyed short stories. I am so glad I read this. Cannot rave enough about the power in these short stories- each one created w/ equal intensity yet almost slightly connected to the other. Definitely one of my favorites this year!

"Desire bred desire, and if we kept chasing it, trying to hold what could not be held, we'd never be satisfied. We would build back up only to fail and fall again. We'd keep feeling alone."

Katie Chase's short story collection was an unexpected pleasure to read. The 8 stories are diverse, and explore sexuality and familial relationships in some surprising locales, including a refugee camp, a suburban backyard, a cabin in the woods, and a city on there verge of collapse, to name a few.

Love this debut collection, and not just because there's a story about Kyrgyzstan AND a story about Minnesota.
