The woman will always be going like that, luminous, vast and slow, exonerated from space and time, infinitely floating on through the endless mist, and there will never be a single there at which she would want to arrive.
Winner of The Metatron Prize for Rising Authors (Fiction), Casey Bell’s slipstream feminist fiction pulses with otherworldly lyricism.
Best friends in a dystopian near-future seek transcendence while serving time for their abortions; a mother reeling from postpartum depression drinks champagne with the ghost of Simone de Beauvoir; a trans woman rapt by visions after a brutal attack anoints a cow as it sinks to the ocean floor. The characters of Little Fury yearn for hope in the rubble of a broken world. Suspended between the real and surreal, Bell’s debut lingers in the slippery in-between of dreaming and waking, voicelessness and uproar, longing and belonging.
