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 โShining a Light,โ a womanโs lost luggage is juxtaposed with far more serious losses. An icy woman seduces a broken man in โVienna,โ and a manโs empathy threatens to destroy him in โStardust Nation.โ โCave Girlโ features a girl who wants to be a different kind of womanโshe 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 Donโt Want to Know: On Writing, Levyโs stories will send you tumbling into a rabbit hole, and you won't be able to scramble out until long after youโve turned the last page.
