this isn’t a question but I just read a short story that reminded me of your writing / something you’d mention in mfa so I thought I’d share. Liddy, First to Fly by Kim Fu made me think of of your preference for animal elements and just the general vibe of summer and secrets and teenage girls was reminiscent of kriegspiel idk. It’s very good though!! I would recommend! a story about childhood friends and a girl who grows wings from her legs, very kiwiesque :)!
i got my hands on the whole collection and god this story was BRILLIANT!! summer and secrets and freak animalesque girlhood my beloved my favourite my one and only. read me for filth honestly hahaha. we were going for a surgical atmosphere, or a ceremonial one—an appendectomy, a baptism—but instead it felt more like a game of pretend, the kind of game we'd only recently outgrown OOOH YEAH. YES. thank you so much for the rec, i'm going to read the rest of the collection too. also thank you so much for reading kriegspiel omg <333
