Soundings And Fathoms: stories by Guy Biederman

“Guy Biederman is a writer of perfect voice and mischievous brilliance; a true mechanic of the senses. He pushes his art so seamlessly to the limits of craft, it’s as if his stories are the errands of new physics. With modal fiction, like waking up in America with no bloodline but having finally made a friend, Biederman is the jazzman who walks you home.”

–Tongo Eisen-Martin, Someone’s Dead Already, Heaven Is All Goodbyes, winner California Book Award

“Sunspot stories: fleet, brief, and radiant.”

–Molly Giles, Rough Translations, All The Wrong Places

“Guy Biederman has the skill and sensibility to bring these stories to moments of illumination and an impact disproportionate to their size.”

–Leonard Gardner, Fat City

“The stories in Soundings & Fathoms may be short, but they carry the mysterious depths of the collection’s title. These are funny stories, moving stories, stories that will make you look at the world in a fresh, astonished, way; these stories are small gems that, together, create a great treasure.”

–Gayle Brandeis, The Art of Misdiagnosis, The Selfless Bliss of the Body
