Reviews

You know you're in the hands of a consummate wordsmith. Choundas's I Think I'll Stay Here Forever is a funny, touching, and heartwarming collection. Some of these stories are bite-sized, others take you much deeper, but all of them reunite you with the beauty of language and the joy of great storytelling. -G. K. Wuori, author of HoneyLee's Girl Each of George Choundas's stories is an uncanny marvel of such tightly compressed energy that you feel the pages vibrating in your hands. -Joan Wickersham, author of No Ship Sets Out to Be a Shipwreck I Think I'll Stay Here Forever is a thrillingly meditative and linguistically acrobatic collection of literary delights. Each story plumbs a dark and existential depth, and Choundas's writing leaves one wide-eyed and drenched in wonder. -Derek Palacio, author of The Mortifications
