What happens when fantasy tears the screen of the everyday to wake us up? Could that waking be our end?

In Bliss Montage, Ling Ma brings us eight wildly different tales of people making their way through the madness and reality of our collective delusions: love and loneliness, connection and possession, friendship, motherhood, the idea of home. A woman lives in a house with all her ex-boyfriends. A toxic friendship grows up around a drug that makes you invisible. An ancient ritual might heal you of anything--if you bury yourself alive.

These and other scenarios investigate the ways that the outlandish and the ordinary are shockingly, deceptively, heartbreakingly alike.

Ling Ma grew up in Utah, Nebraska, and Kansas after being born in Sanming, China. She studied at the University of Chicago and earned a master's degree in fine arts from Cornell University. She worked as a writer and an editor before starting graduate school. Granta, VICE, Playboy, Chicago Reader, Ninth Letter, and other periodicals have published her work. The Graywolf SLS Award was awarded to a chapter of Severance in 2015. She resides in the city of Chicago.
