“In sharp, precise prose, Ewing renders hardscrabble stories that remind equally of Annie Proulx and Denis Johnson. These are Polaroids collected on a shelf, forgotten, and then viewed again to tell of the lives they once lovingly chronicled—now dusty, scratched, lost. The effect is magnificent.”
—Christian Kiefer, author of PHANTOMS

“Ewing’s debut tunes to a haunting static.”
