The Moon is Trending by Clare Fisher
This new short story collection from Clare Fisher explores of feelings of failure around gender, sexuality, and work, that arise in a success-obsessed capitalist culture. Dazzling, playful, and experimental, it veers between the real, the surreal and the absurd.Clare Fisher's short fictions go a long wayShe writes with humour and insight and real skill, about our bodies and our selves, and the world we're in, and about the fragile net of thoughts that holds us.
-- Keith RidgwayShort though its components are, it doesn’t do to read The Moon Is Trending through all the way through. You’d think it’d be easy to read twenty-seven very short stories in one go, but it didn’t play out like that. I read one, sometimes two—no more than three—in a row at a time. It works to be dipped into and out of. To be picked up and put it down. To be gone back and forth to. To be recommended.
-- JL Bogenschneider * The London Magazine *Sharp, playful, often surreal and just as often soulful shards of contemporary and queer life and longing.
-- Lucy Caldwell
