I Hear You’re Rich
I Hear You’re Rich
Publisher’s Review
In Williams' stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life.
In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.
'You can always count on Diane Williams, head literary weirdo and "godmother of flash fiction," for a good time - if you consider having your mind blown to be a good time, which you should. Her latest book has 33 short pieces guaranteed to shift the world around you, if only for a moment.' - Lit Hub
'Williams explores the pleasures and disappointments of adulthood in this distinctive collection ... Williams' blend of precision and understatement make her insights on her characters' fears and limitations cut deeply while leaving the stories open to interpretation. This will leave readers aching in all the best ways.' - Publishers Weekly
