Karin Tidbeck
Enter the strange and wonderful world of Swedish sensation Karin Tidbeck with this feast of darkly fantastical stories. Whether through the falsified historical record of the uniquely weird Swedish creature known as the â€œPyretâ€ or the title story, â€œJagannath,â€ about a biological ark in the far future, Tidbeckâ€™s unique imagination will enthrall, amuse, and unsettle you. How else to describe a collection that includes â€œCloudberry Jam,â€ a story that opens with the line â€œI made you in a tin canâ€? Marvels, quirky character studies, and outright surreal monstrosities await you in what is likely to be one of the most talked-about short story collections of the year.,Tidbeck is a rising star in her native country, having published a collection there in Swedish, won a prestigious literary grant, and just sold her first novel to Swedenâ€™s largest publisher. A graduate of the iconic Clarion Writerâ€™s Workshop at the University of California, San Diego, in 2010, her publication history includes Weird Tales, Shimmer Magazine, Unstuck Annual and the anthology Odd.
