BEST BOOK OF 2018 A QUILL & QUIRE BOOK OF THE YEAR Fantastical,
magnetic, and harsh--these are the women in Paige Cooper's debut
short story collection Zolitude. They are women who built time
machines when they were nine, who buy plane tickets for lovers who
won't arrive. They are sisters writhing with dreams, blase about
sex but beggared by love--while the police horses have talons and
vengeance is wrought by eagles the size of airplanes. Broken-down
motorbikes and housebroken tyrannosaurs, cheap cigarettes and mail
bombs--Cooper finds the beautiful and the disturbing in both the
surreal and the everyday. Troubling, carnal, and haunting, these
stories are otherworldly travelogues through banal, eco-fabulist
dystopias. Zolitude is a gorgeous, sad, and sexy work of slipstream
and an atlas of fantastic isolation. The monstrous is human here,
and tender.
