Vanishings 8 Stories George Garrett Prize Calvino Award

"I love what THE VANISHINGS makes of empty space, of the disappeared and disappearing, the once-longed-for, the self, the empty door. Kavi Yaga has a mighty ear and these propulsive stories grip you with lines that sing, leaving you big-eyed and better-made."
