Stone Animals (Electric Literature's Recommended Reading)

“Stone Animals” is thick with meaning—psychoanalytically inclined readers can have a field day—yet resistant to simple interpretation. The story transforms as you look at it, in the same way that Link’s fiction expertly moves between genres and resists simple forms. - Lincoln Michel, Online Editor, Electric Literaure
