An absolutely singular voice in American literature, whether she's writing about robots and wizards, coming of age in an isolated home, navigating a labyrinth, Marie Antoinette, the permeable borders between worlds, or even the events of her own life, you always know when your are reading a book by Kathryn Davis. But for all the strangeness that populates Davis's work, there is also always a tenderness. Davis's work constantly reckons with the ways in which the world harms all of us who move through it, while also seeking and exploring all the ways we can heal.
