Editorial Reviews

'Also among the more interesting pieces are a couple of short vignettes that stray from conventional narrative approaches in favour of different, lyrical, or absurdist registers, like Wendy, Field Guide with its nonsense natural history and Snow with its paranoid voyeurism, and the longer tale, Swarm certainly a contender for the books high point which closes the collection. Using the elaborately sustained trope of a swarm of bees invading an apartment, Swarm shows a good touch and moments of real psychological sensitivity in its impressionistic look at the relationships shared by a trio of roommates.' -- MRB 2012
