Synopsis
Also by Kathryn Rantala
“In My Archipelago . . . the voice, the repetitions and the surprising turns, a sense of surprise, and in the end, a sense of community … a moment of perception, the mind surprised by one thing then the next and next, consciousness experienced as language.”
—James McKean, author of The Tree of Heaven and Headlong
“At once evanescent as life itself and beautifully precise, these are remarkably fluid pieces [in A Little Family] that have both the advantages of fiction and of prose poetry. They lull you, and then surprise you, moving subtly in unexpected directions.”
—Brian Evenson. author of Song for the Unraveling of the World and The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell
“Kathryn Rantala’s short pieces [in A Little Family] are marked by a quiet yet insistent tenacity, a precision of language and vision that make the tiniest details of this journey numinous and profound.”
—Dawn Raffel, author of Carrying the Body and Further Adventures in the Restless Universe
“In A Little Family, quiet scenes open with precise details and anecdotes then expand into unexpected vistas. Something as simple as a walk to a movie may dissolve into the void or open up to the whole earth, the whole universe. These stories are exponentially bigger than they look, and stun with stealthy grace.”
—Angela Woodward, author of Natural Wonders and Ink
“The space around the images [in EAST, book two of The Jack Gunter Series] opens up landscapes . . . I want to get in my red car and drive east, over the Cascades, stay on I90 past the turnoff to Yakima, be in that space. And part of me feels as though I already have.”
—Joannie Stangeland, author of The Scene You See
“I flat out loved [The Finnish Orchestra]. A must read for anyone with Finland in their history, for anyone who wants to discover an unknown land, for anyone who loves a fine romance on a cold winter night.”
—Rebecca Loudon, musician, author of Tarantella and Amelia Earhart’s Letters
A Partial View Toward Nazareth: “Prose? Oh, it is poetry I do think. Either that or a novella. In any event it’s full of sentences that I wish were mine.”
—Bob Thurber, author of Paperboy and Nothing But Trouble
