I Wanted to be Close to You by Katie Oliver
Gardens, relationships and imaginations run wild in Katie Olivers debut short fiction collection. The world is unpredictable and no woman is safe. Boundaries are blurred: between fantasy and reality, technology and nature, autonomy and oppression. Threat of violence simmers. Women transform into birds, converse with plants and plot their revenge."Katie Oliver’s narrators are often facing a choice between the cold, clean world of technology and the murky darkness of nature, with neither option as the safe one, both posing a threat to the bodies of these women and their tenuous grip on sanity" - The Word Factory
"Oliver’s universe is surreal, fetid, and teeming with organic purpose" - The Yorkshire Times
'These stories sometimes contain laugh-out-loud moments for their imaginative reach but, in truth, are razor-sharp observations of our society.' - The Resting Willow
