"Love, Spite, and Braided Doll Tresses"

In the new Spring 2014 issue of The Fiddlehead, Rebecca Geleyn gives Cynthia Flood's Red Girl Rat Boy a rave review, calling it a "fateful and surprising" collection that "bristles with energy and wonder." Cynthia and her bold, psychologically fearless, nigh-pointillist collection are up for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize this Saturday, and we are enthusiastically rooting for her! Flood for the win!
