Praise for States
"The
world in Jennifer Pashley’s stories
is wicked and seriously out-of-whack, remarkable and
delicious—you never know who you’re going to run
into. Pashley writes quick, tough dialog that cuts hard and scars, and
her stories put you in places and circumstances you have little chance
of getting to otherwise. She asks you to pay attention and use your
imagination, and then treats you to the real pleasures of fiction, of
character, of remarkable people in difficult times. Her work always
stuns."
- Frederick Barthelme
"Jennifer
Pashley’s States imagines human desire
in all its heart-breaking complexity: the mysteries, disguises,
aggressions, disappointments, ecstasies. The contemporary narrators of
these stories – men and women mostly in their 20s and 30s
– are disturbed and disturbing, smart but rarely knowing.
They are, as one puts it, “unraveling with desire.”
States is a riveting, accomplished, and immensely satisfying first
collection."
– David Lloyd, author of Boys, Stories and a Novella
"Precise.
Blunt. Funny. Scary. Bleak. An inviting and
well-carved
debut."
– Aimee Bender
