Recenzii
Surfaces deceive. LeBlancs deliciously creepy stories revel in pushing past the limitations of the body, of the domestic, and of the known even when this means guts are going to spill. In the tradition of writers such as Shirley Jackson, Daphne du Maurier, and Lisa Tuttle, these stories disorient and slide from the familiar and dreamy and into the nightmarish in the most thrilling of ways. LeBlanc kidnaps the reader and takes them on an unforgettable, screamingly great ride. Suzette Mayr, winner of the Giller Prize
Amy LeBlancs Homebodies is like a slow, sliding kaleidoscope of dreams. A series of glimpses into strained, disjointed families and communities, the book follows a network of disquieting characters with woundsboth figurative and very literalthat fester and pulse. The stories feel like admissions, like muffled secrets passed behind closed doors. They are fragmented but nonetheless fulldense and swollen with the characters blunted fears, their stark needs. LeBlancs writing is a shudder running through the body: a sensation that is visceral, reflexive, and inescapable. Like a boa snake constricting, like peristalsis, these stories will swallow you whole. Erica McKeen, author of Tear
Amy LeBlancs uncanny, open-ended stories perfectly capture the ambiguous anxieties of our pandemic times. This is an engrossing, contemporary, well-arranged collection with novelistic immersiveness. Seyward Goodhand, author of Even That Wildest Hope
In Homebodies, Amy LeBlanc moves time forward and backward, and mostlyunderneathfamilies, lovers, cats and friends. In these stories, growing up doesnt lighten the dark, understanding doesnt sweeten the lot, sadness and despair compete with spirit for space. Its LeBlanc who makes darkness palatable with her poignancy and poetic touch. Dont plan on putting Homebodies down after you pick it up. Susie Moloney, author The Thirteen and The Dwelling
