No other book offers a more fascinating look into how cultures with different understandings of medicine and healing interact with the Western medical system…The book is an absolute wonder for how it holds space for the disparate meanings that can arise from differing worldviews.

🌴Farah Ali - i read People Want to Live, Farah’s stunning debut short story collection, and fell in love with the precision and mind of this writer. This is her debut novel!

Do you know that feeling when you find a writer whose work lights up unknown and unknowable things inside you? @patricia__engel is one of those writers for me and today is the publication of the brilliance, The Faraway World, her latest story collection.

I’ve been asked a lot about the structure for my memoir The Man Who Could Move Clouds. It’s a complicated weaving of past, present, story, history. This was the first structural map. I wanted to start w/unearthing of my grandfather’s body & end w/ his body as ash. https://t.co/70t3ARYPWU

This book knocked me off my feet. I reread it immediately, letting it breathe into my imagination all that memoir could be.

It’s a book about the power of new beginnings, how terrible to lose the shelter of what’s familiar and how big the sky is after

This bit of wisdom from @megiddings at the @wcfbook event w/ @jessaminechan — “What are you obsessed with?” as a question to guide into the next book. “If i can articulate it, I can write the next book” &: “For me, it was witches.” On the genesis of The Women Could Fly 🙌🏽

The novel is at heart a story about a family falling apart... This is a book written with the gods of storytelling in mind; it highlights what stories can do — that it’s not just the stories that evolve with each telling, but we ourselves who are rearranged too.
