Evocative and thrillingly strange, Catapult's stories excavate the psyches of characters caught in the murky borderland between desire and action.

Discussing a dog choosing a neighbor over Lora, the dog‘s owner:
“Do you miss him?”
“Not really. Men are better, and he was always making me choose. Nimrod [the dog] didn‘t like human males over 4 feet tall.”

Discussing an old relationship:
“And what about Tom?”
“Well. He took this new job downtown-“
“Who did he fall in love with?”
“No one!”
“Just say he‘s dead, like [I do with] Nimrod. Run over on the street. It‘ll make you feel better.” 💁🏼‍♀️

Intoxicating glances at the lives of mostly horrible people. It's a weird amalgamation of nostalgia & hope twisted around & wrapped into a semi-human presentation. Reading these stories is like not being able to look away from a car accident— abnormally fascinating despite the nausea that ensues.

Fridlund‘s voice compares to the strange aspects of Eat Only When You're Hungry & the complexities of Everything I Never Told You. It‘s a bizarre ride.

daena I‘m reading this right now and really enjoying it! 7y
emilyhaldi Sounds interesting, nice review! Unfortunately, I really didn't care for her other book so I think I might just have to avoid the rest of her writing 😏 7y
mrozzz @daena it‘s.... memorable! Do you have a favorite story? 7y
mrozzz @emilyhaldi I am wondering myself if I should read her novel... If you already had a taste of her writing you might as well pass on this although I think a couple of the stories are worth reading! 7y

Emily Fridlund's debut, History of Wolves, is one of my favorite books of this year. I've been eagerly awaiting the publication of her first story collection, and I'm beside myself with excitement to be holding it in my hands. She's one of the most powerful voices in contemporary American literature, and I am SO HERE for anything she writes. 😍
