Dorthe Nors reads from So Much for That Winter, her new collection of novellas, with Yiyun Li.
Praise for Dorthe Nors:
"These very short works . . . are as sharp-edged, destructive, and intentionally made as the title suggests. Nowhere here is a word out of place. Imagine Grace Paley with more than a little of Mary Gaitskill's keen eye for the despair and violence of sex, mixed with an otherness that's unsettlingly odd and vivid." —Publishers Weekly, starred review for Karate Chop
"[So Much For That Winter presents] an edgy evocation of contemporary life. Nors is a creator of small spaces; her fiction is relentless, edgy, brief. . . . it couldn't be more accessible." —Kirkus Reviews
