Q

⤻ author : Stacey Richter
⤻ richter writes with volatile energy, hurtling through her
stories while flitting seamlessly between the unusual
and the mundane.
⤻ she shows the repercussions of bad parenting, the
loneliness of forgotten children, the struggles of the
smallest creatures, and the frailty of age.
⤻ while her observations may sometimes sting, Richter is
never afraid to up her characters’ antes.
⤻ often scathing, sometimes disturbing, and just as
frequently funny, her stories occasionally wend off into
the surreal — they are populated by Neanderthals,
bong-sucking Bat Boys, and a long-suffering woman
raising a clone of herself as a replacement part.
⤻ ultimately, Richter’s flights of fancy are about pain,
human and real and unrelenting, and very, very subtly,
about humanity itself.
