Life Raft
“In [Ken Nash’s] endlessly inventive stories, Freud’s concept of the uncanny (unheimlich) applies—these eerie slices of alternate reality, set in garbage dumps and dystopian future societies, look and feel just a little too much like where we’re headed. But not only can he see into the future, he can make us laugh through our fright. There is mordant wit; there is trenchant social observation.”
— Donna Stonecipher, Author of Transaction Histories (2018)
The Brain Harvest
“Shines with humor & subtle profundity”
– The Prague Post
”Nash’s playful and quick- witted style bears echoes of maverick American greats like George Saunders and Donald Barthelme, and recalls the quirkiness of Miranda July. Taut, intelligent, eccentric, and wholly engaging, The Brain Harvest is a wonderful debut for a very talented new writer.”
– Clare Wigfall, author of The Loudest Sound and Nothing (Faber & Faber)
