From the Back Cover
"Salmonson, author of Anthony Shriek, Tomoe Gozen, and The Ghost Gardens, is interested in pattern and shape here, image and sound, not sense and plot, character and reason, and so, as you read, existence becomes increasingly unstable. Before long a gentle vertigo settles over these remarkable fictions which are bathed in an absurdist humor and a delightfully eccentric understanding." -- Lance Olsen, Review of Contemporary Fiction
About the Author
Jessica Amanda Salmonson lives and writes in Seattle with a bird, several salamanders, and a family of rats. John Ruskin described her as "Entirely foolish, entirely wise, idle, reckless, humble, thoughful, dull, imaginative, sensitive, clumsy, improvident, wicked, entirely merciful, just and godly."
