Sisters in Another Life by Talia Weisz

It’s nostalgia for the future in these coming of age micro-stories about a group of women friends all seeming to be waiting to become future versions of themselves. These are timely and affective stories of a new lost generation.

Although Charles Simic was describing poetry, not flash fiction, when he wrote of “other people’s snapshots in which we recognize ourselves,” Talia Weisz’s portraits offer just such glimpses. The characters we meet here are, in all their distinctiveness, so familiar as to be familial. Insightfully portraying the tensions and questions of childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, Sisters in Another Life engages through its disarming authenticity.

This is the residue of living. This collection of snapshots shows us the subtle and absolute stains, like coffee rings on white cloth, of the intersections of people. Weisz shows that what “almost happens” is what happens. Weisz not just evokes, Weisz can write.

–Jessica Hiemstra, author of Self-Portrait Without a Bicycle and Apologetic for Joy
