And I'm with Lucia Berlin, whose simple, unadorned stories in A Manual for Cleaning Womenare finally being celebrated as the little miracles they are. I'm with Emma Cline for getting at something true and original about female influence in The Girls. I'm with Yaa Gyasi, whose Homegoingis an incredible feat of imagination, spanning centuries. I'm with Man Booker shortlister Ottessa Moshfegh because Eileen is crazy good. ![]() I'm with Magda Szabo, whose masterpiece, The Door, portrays difficult truths about human connection and disconnection. I'm with Jade Sharma not despite but because of her Problems. I'm with Leopoldine Core, whose story collection, When Watched, gently cuts to the heart of all matters. ![]() I'm with Joni Murphy, whose brilliant Double Teenage was a deserving bestseller at Type Books. I'm with Chris Kraus, author of the iconic I Love Dick (the TV pilot is good, but the book is better ). I'm with Paulina Chiziane, the first Mozambican woman to publish a novel, whose The First Wife is a shining example of, well, shine theory. ![]() Flying Books' first-anniversary flight is devoted to fiction by women. ![]()
