In her second collection of short stories, Ausubel explores familiar emotions in uncanny ways. A woman isn’t just homesick, but dissolves into mist under the pressure of her longing. A lovelorn Cyclops looks to the digital magic of the internet to find a companion. Unfolding variously in small-town America, on Caribbean islands, in the Arctic Ocean, and at the gates of heaven, Ausubel’s fiction is both grounded in the ordinary while richly imaginative in unexpected and revealing ways. The winner of the PEN Center USA Fiction Award for her first novel, No One Is Here except All of Us, Ausubel writes with compassion and humor, exploring the mysteries of human experience in ways that both clarify and complicate.
