Fiction
The stories in Black Vodka, by acclaimed author Deborah
Levy, are perfectly formed worlds unto themselves, written
in elegant yet economical prose. She is a master of the
short story, exploring loneliness and belonging; violence
and tenderness; the ephemeral and the solid; the grotesque
and the beautiful; love and infidelity; and fluid identities
national, cultural, and personal. In “Shining a Light,” a woman’s lost luggage is juxtaposed
with far more serious losses. An icy woman seduces a broken
man in “Vienna,” and a man’s empathy threatens to destroy
him in “Stardust Nation.” “Cave Girl” features a girl who
wants to be a different kind of woman—she succeeds in a
shocking way. A deformed man seeks beauty amid his angst in
the title story. These are twenty-first century lives dissected with
razor-sharp humor and curiosity. Published simultaneously
with Things I Don’t Want to Know: On Writing, Levy’s stories
will send you tumbling into a rabbit hole, and you won't be
able to scramble out until long after you’ve turned the last
page.
