SUMMARY:Kelly Link
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary & Scientific Circle — White Cat\, Black Dog: Stories by Kelly Link \nFinding seeds of inspiration in the stories of the Brothers Grimm\, seventeenth-century French lore\, and Scottish ballads\, Kelly Link spins classic fairy tales into utterly original stories of seekers—characters on the hunt for love\, connection\, revenge\, or their own sense of purpose.  \nIn “The White Cat’s Divorce\,” an aging billionaire sends his three sons on a series of absurd goose chases to decide which child will become his heir. In “The Girl Who Did Not Know Fear\,” a professor with a delicate health condition becomes stranded for days in an airport hotel after a conference\, desperate to get home to her wife and young daughter\, and in acute danger of being late for an appointment that cannot be missed. In “Skinder’s Veil\,” a young man agrees to take over a remote house-sitting gig for a friend. But what should be a chance to focus on his long-avoided dissertation instead becomes a wildly unexpected journey\, as the house seems to be a portal for otherworldly travelers—or perhaps a door into his own mysterious psyche.  \nTwisting and turning in astonishing ways\, expertly blending realism and the speculative\, witty\, empathetic\, and never predictable—these stories remind us once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the realm of short fiction.  \nMacArthur “Genius Grant” fellow Kelly Link is the author of The Book of Love: A Novel\, and the collections Get in Trouble\, Stranger Things Happen\, Magic for Beginners\, Pretty Monsters\, and White Cat\, Black Dog. She and Gavin J. Grant have co-edited a number of anthologies\, including multiple volumes of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror and\, for young adults\, Monstrous Affections. She is the co-founder of Small Beer Press. Her short stories have been published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction\, The Best American Short Stories\, and Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards. She has also received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Link was born in Miami\, Florida. She currently lives with her husband and daughter in Northampton\, Massachusetts.
