Moon Is Cotton & She Laugh All Night - Tracy DeBrincat

Praise for Moon Is Cotton & She Laugh All Night

Tracy DeBrincat's audacious stories are all skewed angles and acrobatic language. Her characters, hungry for the authentic, don't necessarily find it where we'd think to look. The character who says she's 'naked as a lark' pretty much illustrates DeBrincat's unpredictable style: candid, original—a lark!—and rich with anti-sentimental feeling.

~ ROSELLEN BROWN

With evocative prose and comic precision, Tracy DeBrincat mines the rich interior worlds of her characters, primarily girls and women. She is a writer with a unique voice and vision, and her stories unfold in surprising ways. Read her collection and take the journey-one filled with twists and turns, empathy, and ultimately, grace.

~ MARY ORIS

Vivid, sensuous, supremely imaginative—these compelling stories chart the landscapes of the disenfranchised, the idiosyncrasies of families and found families, the love that grows from the shimmer of asphalt on a highway at 3 a.m. In prose that is both surprisingly lush and gritty, DeBrincat leads us into the adventures of her quirky, fascinating characters chock full of hilarity and heartbreak. This is a remarkably powerful debut voice on the fiction scene.
