"Animal You'll Surely Become is a brutal and lyric shape-shifter of a book. It reinvents itself with each chapter, always turning on the reader. This book is an animal who is smart and soft, intuitive and vicious. It is a hybrid-myth of a beast with three faces pointing backwards, forwards, and most importantly: straight ahead, daring its reader, its prey, to blink. Hailer debuts with a lush and dirty book that is as adventurous as it is ambitious, and as I read it, I couldn't look away." Sarah Shotland, author of Junkette
Carolyn Guinzio's How Much of What Falls Will Be Left When It Gets To The Ground? interlaces a series of questions, possibilities, and scenarios that address the various "times and places" of memory-how it is stored, lost, reinvented, mythicized, and how a person is shaped and reshaped by this process, like a piece of clay forever spinning under the shaking potter's hands. But through the play she makes of words, images, and places, Guinzio reminds us that despite what turns out by the end, there is beauty in both the process and the result.
In this collection of short stories and other miscellaneous moments, Shome Dasgupta creates a world that is somehow both clearly ours as well as barely recognizable. Dasgupta, the author of The Seagull And The Urn (Harper Collins India, 2013), weaves sophistication into pop surrealism, stripping away the meaningless noise that surrounds us and turning up the volume on our sticky yet ever-changing, beautifully disastrous lives. With Dasgupta as our guide, we are able to transcend time, and even verb tense, creeping in and out of postmodern fairytales gone awry. We examine our most awkward high school gymnasium memories and explore, with an unusual objectivity, how one's dream date can drift away into another's nightmare. It's possible that Mute offers more questions than answers, uncertainties that are more satiating than any one-size-fits-all explanation could ever present.
