Sinkhole, and Other Inexplicable Voids by Leyna Krow
What do we owe our family and friends in times of wild uncertainty?
That is the question the women of this beguiling, darkly fabulist story collection grapple with as they strive to be good mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, wives, and companions in a world that is constantly shifting around them. Set in the Pacific Northwest, these stories blend high concept magic with the sometimes subtle, other times glaring, realities of climate change.
Leyna Krow is the author of the novel "Fire Season," which was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, and the short story collection, "I'm Fine, But You Appear to Be Sinking," which was a Believer Book Award finalist.
Oh, does the title "Sinkhole" sound familiair? Perhaps. It was originally written by Leyna Krow for the 2016 Lilac City Fairy Tales anthology, an annual fundraiser for Spokane non-profit, Spark Central. Universal Pictures and actor/producers Jordan Peele and Issa Rae are working on turning it into a film.
