The narrator of every single one of these stories is a weird little guy and I love that.

Imagine if Derry Girls were set in present-day Northern Ireland and co-written by Carmen Maria Machado, George Saunders, and the ghost of Flannery O’C
Imagine if Derry Girls were set in present-day Northern Ireland and co-written by Carmen Maria Machado, George Saunders, and the ghost of Flannery O’Connor—that’s wait awaits you in Quickly, While They Still Have Horses by award-winning Irish writer Jan Carson. These stories offer a magnificent blend of surrealism with everyday horrors and disappointments that never fails to entertain while illuminating the social and political complexities of her setting. Upon my first read of the collection, Jan’s macabre, fantastical twists filled me with a mix of shock and delight, then horror at how delighted I was. But there is a quiet, earnest empathy racing through the heart of these stories, too, and I return to them often.

Wow! I don't often read short story collections, but this is the kind of book that reminds me why I should. Falls right up there with The Secret Lives
Wow! I don't often read short story collections, but this is the kind of book that reminds me why I should. Falls right up there with The Secret Lives of Church Ladies and Heads of the Colored People for me, though this is a different kind of collection--in each story Norris weaves a new little world, and reading each one felt like peering through a window into a lived-in house, slowly taking in the details of the drama and the deeply-imagined history of the characters with each sentence. Certainly a collection that invites rereading and discussion. I think my favorite story is "Such Great Height and Consequence" (about the town who takes down a Confederate monument and opens the pedestal up to a rotating cast of residents), but when I tried to pick a second favorite the list was over half of the collection.
