SWIM HOME TO THE VANISHED was included in the San Francisco Chronicle's roundup of must-read books for this summer: “In the opening pages of SWIM HOME TO THE VANISHED, the protagonist, a young Diné man working as a line cook, compares the pain of losing a sibling to ‘dismemberment.’ It’s a precise, if gruesome breakdown of this specific sense of grief that debut author Brendan Shay Basham’s characters explore with a touch of magical realism.” Harper will publish the book on August 22, 2023.
