Overview

In these powerful stories, What She Was Saying softens the already thin line between hope and hopelessness, between perseverance and despair, between what can and cannot be said. A finalist for the Katherine Anne Porter and Eludia book awards--as well as a semifinalist for Black Lawrence Press's Hudson, Eastern Washington University's Spokane, and Leapfrog Press's book prizes--What She Was Saying gives voice to the lives we all need to hear.

Editorial Reviews

From the ingenious title to the last story, What She Was Saying is a study of the gap between the covert and the overt. Alienation, isolation, desperation are here writ both small and large; their echo is a humanistic plea for inclusiveness, community, friendship, and simple love and kindness, one to another. Wonderfully crafted, honest, and bold, Marjorie Maddox's work always brings her readers to new levels of perceptiveness about the big picture as well as minute moments.

Sena Jeter Naslund

This collection reveals a beguiling new voice in contemporary fiction...Maddox's stories open up unexpected, little noticed corners of our world...Some read like fables; some surprise with bold humor. All celebrate the mystery of the familiar, the strangeness of the ordinary, and the humanity of marginal lives.
