People with Holes

by Heather Fowler

Overview

Hailed as "magic realism at its finest," Fowler's writing reveals the small but essential truths that motivate sex and relationships. Whether in museums of solitude, in airports of dreams, or at the circus, these stories are bound together by transformation, anthropomorphism, and ultimately by love's inevitable consequences. Fowler's unique vision is thought-provoking, with a touch of feminist sensibility, and shot through with quirky and laugh-out-loud humor.

Editorial Reviews

Fowler's prose is by turns rowdy, affectionate, erotic, absurd, and glittering, with images both awesome and awful. Readers who admire any of the finest writers in the genre (Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Franz Kafka, Toni Morrison, and Salman Rushdie) should enjoy the flights of fancy within this book, and also be able to confront its darker journeys.
