Synopsis
Magic for Beginners is Kelly Link’s eagerly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to her beloved debut, Stranger Things Happen. “Cumulatively weirder and wiser” (The Believer), this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches, superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic poker parties, among other things.
Link’s work is truly unique. Time Out New York called her stories “cross-genre gems,” and her admirers in the literary community—from Peter Straub and Karen Joy Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon—reflect the amazing range that makes her style so special. Call it kitchen sink magical realism: Fantastic and bizarre but funny and down to earth, there is something for everyone in Magic for Beginners.

Some are also quite scary." ? Sarah Waters"Link is the exact best and strangest and funniest short story writer on earth that you have never heard of at the exact moment you are reading these words and making them slightly inexact."--Jonathan Lethem"Charming? A hybrid world that s part Muggle and part magic."?Time"A new collection by Kelly Link-- and once more, for a little while, the world is worth saving."-Michael Chabon"Link's world is one to savor." --Entertainment Weekly"[Magic for Beginners] might just encapsulate one of the most fertile literary movements of recent years."?Boston Globe
