Casey Bell's Little Fury captures the lives of its finely drawn characters with a sensitive vitality akin to the short stories of Lucia Berlin. Bell's prose is filled with a fragrant heat that makes even the most ordinary of circumstances striking. an evocative, pleasurable debut. -- Marlowe Granados, author of Happy Hour These luminous stories delve into the ambivalences of contemporary womanhood, offering not only fierce portraits of loneliness and want, but also surprising possibilities for new modes of communion. -- Claire Stanford author of Happy for You Little Fury is a smart, unsettling marvel of feminist fabulism. (A woman fleeing postpartum hell meets Audre Lorde and Simone de Beauvoir inside a desert cactus!) As they probe the intricate ambivalences of friendship, sex, and motherhood, these stories blaze with longing and darkness and defiance and inchoate joy. -- Leni Zumas, author of Red Clocks Little Fury is a wild, exhilarating ride--it takes us back to the Paleolithic and up to the stars, takes us deeply into and beyond the physical world, exploring both embodiment and dissociation, the longings of both flesh and spirit, giving us little glimpses of what it's like to be free from patriarchy, what it's like to be truly free. Casey Bell is a furiously talented and visionary writer; her stories leave me breathless, leave me energized, leave me believing we can make a better world. --Gayle Brandeis, author of Drawing Breath Casey Bell's Little Fury is an astonishing collection. These impassioned stories are viscerally angry, heartrendingly sad, and mordantly funny--often all at once--and told in fierce, controlled, gorgeous prose. This is a book to share and to treasure. --Christopher Coake, author of You Would Have Told Me Not To
