'These stunning stories . . . are mysterious, strange, and fearlessly funny in their expression of human isolation, and they contain the existential surprises of great literature. Belly Up is a powerful debut by an unusually gifted writer.' Lorrie Moore 'Heralds an exciting new talent.' Paris Review 'Creepy, deadpan debut . . . full of squirmy pleasures.' Kristen Roupenian, New York Times 'A profound talent has manifested, one that is experimental in the best sense.' Los Angeles Review of Books 'At the intersection of the surreal and the real, Rita Bullwinkel has carved out a unique space in which the mundane and the strange cohabitate, and sometimes frolic. The sharp, precise writing and careful observations of the human condition in her excellent first collection Belly Up signal the debut of a major new talent.' Jeff VanderMeer 'Like a house with many stupendous rooms built from spare sentences and subtle obsessions that spiral into the best kinds of existential questions . . . Strange and masterful.' Ingrid Rojas Contreras 'These surreal stories, suffused with humor and a casual tenderness, feature the kind of writing that gets stuck inside your head, right behind your eyes, so that, after you read it, everything about the way you view the world seems colored and warped by this new lens.' Nylon 'Bewildered imagination finds a home in the stories of Rita Bullwinkel. Her writing is beautiful and poetic, funny, strange, heartbreaking and wise.' NPR 'Bullwinkel's delightful, passionate stories of disturbance and worried words have the best kind of frenetic energy.' Deb Olin Unferth
