Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"What will strike you first is the sheer energy and muscularity of Wood s prose. This is a book full of wounds, of damage, of mayhem, an unfliching look at the American family, past and present. But read these stories with as much slow care as they were written, and what you will take away--and what will remain a long time after you put this book down--are the very souls (and hearts) of her characters." --- Peter Orner
"These stories go off like fireworks. Anne-E Wood's writing is fierce, tender, reckless, precise, alarming, lovely, and unforgettable." --- Michelle Carter
"The heady acceleration and syncopated rhythms of Anne-E. King's joyous prose immerse the reader into a subtly irreal world of utmost verissimilitude--one both made and demystified by true art. An uncommonly gifted young writer." --- Mikhail Iossel

Beyond words,
By Maria Suarez (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two if by Sea (Paperback)
It should amaze anyone who reads this that a person currently alive is capable of such magic. Everything broken and beautiful about everyone around you is right here. It makes me think that English is still usable to new effect, and that books are worthwhile, have any power at all. Get this while it's still available. Wood's next book will be big.

This review is from: Two if by Sea (Paperback)
Anyone interested in the future of fiction should snag one of these limited edition books. Wood is clearly on top of her game. The stories radiate sadness and beauty. They haunt and seduce like the best, strangest, most beguiling fictions.

Riveting,
By James Edward (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two if by Sea (Paperback)
The most humbling and supreme set of short stories I have come across this century. Two if By Sea is a collection of human wounds, human comedies and the absurd all in one. Wood's got a lot to offer this world. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
