Kelsey Ford: Celebrate Short Story Month: 7 Recommendations Based on 7 Collections We Love (0 comment)
I love short story collections because of how much they manage to do with so little. They can dilate, expand, shatter, constellate. Within any given collection, you can move from the moon to a diner after midnight to that liminal minute right when you wake up but are still knee-deep in a dream..

Publisher Comments

The car is idling on the road between
where we've been and where we're going.
The door's open. You coming?


Momentary Illumination of Objects In Motion tells of life and death, identity and race, change and resistance to change. Arias unflinchingly peers into the places we turn away from, showing us it's not always as neat or as clean as we'd like to imagine. Sometimes it's messy as hell.

"A debut that pulls no punches." Samuel Snoek-Brown, There Is No Other Way to Worship Them

..".an after-midnight bar story, a foxhole prayer, a graveyard shift confession." Matthew Robinson, The Horse Latitudes

"It's a book that makes you feel whispered to and pulled in close." Rita Bullwinkel, Belly Up

"Arias finds flashes of humor in the wreckage, as well as rare moments of beauty." Stevan Allred, The Alehouse at the End of the World

Review

"A debut volume of short stories captures small slices of characters' lives....Tales that are emotional and intellectual but almost always moving; a superb collection." Kirkus Reviews

Review

"...the stories...are ferociously honest about the hard truths of our existence, and yet still burn with love and appreciation for all the parts of our humanity. A kickass debut." Margaret Malone, author of People Like You

Review

"Arias will break your heart, blow your mind, make you laugh and bring you to the edge of everything that matters. Momentary Illumination of Objects In Motion is a phenomenal and dazzling debut." Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan and The Small Backs of Children
