NATIONAL BESTSELLER âĸ PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST âĸ A bewitching story collection from the author of White Cat, Black Dog and The Book of Love, hailed as âthe most darkly playful voice in American fictionâ (Michael Chabon) and âour greatest living fabulistâ (Carmen Maria Machado)
âRidiculously brilliant . . . These stories make you laugh while staring into the void.ââThe Boston Globe
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: BuzzFeed, Time, The Washington Post, NPR, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Slate, Toronto Star, Kirkus Reviews, BookPage
Kelly Link has won an ardent following for her ability, with each new short story, to take readers deeply into an unforgettable, brilliantly constructed fictional universe. The nine exquisite examples in this collection show her in full command of her formidable powers. In âThe Summer People,â a young girl in rural North Carolina serves as uneasy caretaker to the mysterious, never-quite-glimpsed visitors who inhabit the cottage behind her house. In âI Can See Right Through You,â a middle-aged movie star makes a disturbing trip to the Florida swamp where his former on- and off-screen love interest is shooting a ghost-hunting reality show. In âThe New Boyfriend,â a suburban slumber party takes an unusual turn, and a teenage friendship is tested, when the spoiled birthday girl opens her big present: a life-size animated doll.
Hurricanes, astronauts, evil twins, bootleggers, Ouija boards, iguanas, The Wizard of Oz, superheroes, the Pyramids . . . These are just some of the talismans of an imagination as capacious and as full of wonder as that of any writer today. But as fantastical as these stories can be, they are always grounded by sly humor and an innate generosity of feeling for the frailtyâand the hidden strengthsâof human beings. In Get in Trouble, this one-of-a-kind talent expands the boundaries of what short fiction can do.
