Named one of "Our Most Anticipated Books of 2026" by the Chicago Review of Books and "Reads for the Rest of Us: The Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2026" by Ms. Magazine
Inventive and emotionally nuanced, Grace Spulak's debut story collection explores the complexities of gender, queerness, trauma, and resilience through characters who live in the margins and imagine new ways to survive there. Pushing the boundaries of traditional narratives and forms, these stories suggest paths for picking up our pieces--and for transforming and escaping the realities that constrain us. A social worker becomes entangled in the life of a woman she's meant to investigate, blurring the line between empathy and obsession. A veterinary student communes with a yak that seems to speak to her--if only she could understand its message. And a separating couple embarks on one last errand together to unburden themselves of an unsettling memento.
