What happens when you can't trust your own child? In this perfectly paced nightmare of a novel, a mother questions her young daughter's complicity in a series of potentially coincidental tragedies. The hero must fight for her own mind, and the story is not for the faint of heart I found it uniquely devastating. This speculative novel is set in a world in which society's collective memory is actively policed - to remember the things that make us human has become a crime. Imagine you wake up one day and you've forgotten what birds are. These short stories are magical, meaningful, packed with wonder.
Fu is one of the most imaginative and innovative writers out there - she plays with form, structure, and the sentence in ways I've never seen before. You're in for a treat with this short-story collection. Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu (2022). While the premise might seem bizarre (it is!), the book asks so many deeper questions about femininity and motherhood, ambition and art, and what it means for women to break the molds we've been given.
This is a slim, weird, gorgeous novel about a mother who believes she's turning into a dog. Her ambitious new literary suspense novel, Notes on an Execution, interweaves a serial killer's final hours with the stories of women who became caught in his orbit. Danya Kukafka is the author of the 2017 best-seller Girl in Snow.
