Great review of TOGETHER WE CAN BURY IT at Book Riot

Wow. Huge thanks to David Abrams (author of the novel, Fobbit), for this beautiful review of my collection for the Riot Round-Up. I’m so happy and honored by this praise from a writer I admire so much:

I’ll keep this short: After reading Together We Can Bury It, I’m convinced there are few living authors who are better at flash fiction than Kathy Fish. She packs an incredible array of life, in all its rich complexities, into each one of the 40 stories in this 2012 collection. Unlike many short-shorts, Fish’s fiction doesn’t lean too heavily on allegory or turn characters into symbols and it rarely (if ever) leaves the reader scratching her head in “WTF?!” befuddlement. These are beautiful slices of life–little gems that, at every turn, left me feeling like I was filled with sunlight. — David Abrams

Here’s a link to the whole article, listing some fabulous books: Riot Round-Up: The Best Books We Read in December. The book may be ordered directly from The Lit Pub.

  1. How exciting! First of all, I couldn’t agree more with every work he said and second, how exciting to be placed among such stellar literary company. And most deserving! You give all of us writing flash something to strive for, my friend. I couldn’t be happier for this recognition of your fine work.

  2. Congrats, Kathy! Would you be at all interested in doing a short interview/reprint for Lascaux’s new sister publication Easy Street? I’d love to feature some flash and Book Riot’s right: There is no one better. If you don’t have time, no worries. We’re still in soft launch mode, but hoping to launch in Feb. Would love to feature your work.
