March 17, 2017

Jess Arndt’s short story collection LARGE ANIMALS receives a review from Publishers Weekly, which writes, “Arndt’s short stories are delicious flights of fancy, or obsession, or fertile curiosity—or, more accurately, some beguiling combination of all three… This is a playful and provocative collection, full of sly, deft turns of phrase and striking imagery.” Kirkus writes, “Reading Arndt is like walking toward a shimmering desert mirage and being met with a cloud of acid instead of an oasis of cool water… A deeply transgressive, riveting shot out of the gate. Arndt is one to watch.” Catapult will publish the book on May 9, 2017....
