Eleanor Davis' first collection of stories are wrought with an internal struggle just barely contained—reading through these often delightfully colored pages you'll be confronted by a world where you need to wear an environmental suit to see your loved ones, where the pursuit of the natural in our modern lives only brings pain, and where learning to cry is only another one of daily struggles we have to put ourselves through. Along with her longer stories, Davis also includes a selection of short work, which stands firmly upon poetic brevity and grace. These stories tie the book into a collection, rounding the corners and providing a space to consider the weight of it all (take a moment and read the short memory sketch on page 119). As is clear with the range of work, Davis has a broad inventive style and a perfectly striking color palette. Honest and daring, this is book for all fans of the medium.
