Another giveaway -- this time I'm giving away an award-winning collection of short stories Bright Shards of Someplace Else, by Monika McFawn. The author Monica asked if I would be interested in reviewing the book, noting that two of the stories are horse-themed. Keep in mind, though, that saying two of the stories are about horses is like saying Moby Dick is a book about whales.
Monica has insight into the psychology of horse-obsessed women, and her two equestrian stories are stark but real. It's a wonderful collection -- it won the Flannery O'Connor Award and was named one of the top 25 books of 2014 by NPR.
To enter the giveaway, just leave comment on this blog with your email. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThis one hasn't crossed my path yet - would love to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read it. beljoeor[at]gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteSometimes those stories that are only tangentially horse related are spectacular. There's a Tami Hoag mystery, that of course I can't remember the title of, set around a murder at a racetrack that's great. Jane Smiley is another who writes stories about horses and their people that are hard to put down.
ReplyDeleteSounds very interesting. I would know something about horse obsessed women...

Sounds like a wonderful book. I love good short stories--whether they have horses or not. Good writing is good writing.
