What to expect
In How We Disappear, award-winning author Tara Lynn Masih offers listeners transporting and compelling stories of those taken, those missing, and those neither here nor gone—runaways, exiles, wanderers, ghosts, even the elusive Dame Agatha Christie.
From the remote Siberian taiga to the harsh American frontier, from rural Long Island to postwar Belgium, Masih’s characters are diverse in identity and circumstance, defying the burden of erasure by disappearing into or emerging from physical and emotional landscapes.
Described as “masterful” and as “striking and resonant” (Publishers Weekly), Masih’s fiction, crossing boundaries between historical and contemporary, sparks with awareness that nothing and no one is ever gone for good—and that the wilderness is never quite behind us.
Critics Review
“Six talented narrators work together to deliver these immersive short stories, which explore the lasting effect of absence or disappearance upon people’s lives.”
“From American fables to ghost stories…a collection that is equally cohesive as it is explorative.”
“Far-ranging yet intimate stories.”
“Engaging, entertaining, original, thought-provoking…and unreservedly recommended.”
“Characters that manage to feel unique and yet familiar at the same time and settings so full of sensory details they become characters in themselves. This fine collection is a worthy addition to any bookshelf.”
“Each story is its own richly detailed, mesmerizing world.”
“Explores the inevitability and necessity of change and how even the most fleeting of moments are never truly forgotten, in this mesmerizing collection of short stories.”
“Centered on the theme of disappearance…a beautiful and carefully written work that deftly searches below the surface…Luminous tales set in evocative environments that explore how remarkable people can fade away.”
“Explores the aching presence of the absent and the absence of those present, in stories that read like instant classics.”
“The breadth and diversity of the stories in How We Disappear illustrate the vast possibilities of human experience.”
“In How We Disappear, Masih’s characters move out of, into, and through vivid, beautifully rendered landscapes—of the world and of the self…A powerful collection.”
