About this title

Synopsis

Fiction. In lucid, utterly captivating prose, Miranda Mellis delivers a highly disciplined, deeply melancholy portrait of the living and the dead. I read it transfixed. It is a radiant piece of work.--Carole Maso

THE SPOKES is as elegant as it is daring, as arresting as it is mysterious. It seems to me a truly timeless story, which is to say not only that it removes itself from time--though it does--but that its pleasures, enigmas, and meanings ought to be as accessible fifty or a hundred years from now as they are today.--Kevin Brockmeier
