Advance Praise
"L. Timmel Duchamp's stories are intense, tricky, heartfelt, and most
of all, interesting; they take on big themes in a clear way, but also at
the same time swirl with complications, moments of poetry, life
itself."
"L. Timmel Duchamp has become a major voice as an editor, publisher,
and critic. Her new collection Never at Home confirms her
importance as a writer as well. The stories within are strange and heady,
original and surprising. In them, the Duchamp heroine often finds herself
pulled into some fascinating new world. The Duchamp reader is in the same
position, though much happier to be there. Highly recommended."
“L. Timmel Duchamp sees the world from an angle inclined at about 25
degrees to the rest of us. Her stories make you feel odd, as if the ground
shifted in mid-step and your foot has come down somewhere you weren’t
expecting. In this collection she explores in many ways the theme of
belonging. They are some of her best stories: unfailingly original,
emotionally intense, and suffused with intelligence. I am in awe of this
book.”
"A new
collection from L. Timmel Duchamp is cause for celebration. Duchamp's short
fiction is compassionate, sharp-eyed, intelligent, and often ingeniously
structured. These stories take us places we haven'tt been before. Never at
Home once again showcases a unique, essential voice."
