Rezensionen

'Don't be deceived by Savas's cool, matter-of-fact tone - beneath it lie layers of wisdom, delicacy and subtlety' Guardian

'Singular, delightful... The melancholy of these narrators, though tangible, treads only lightly on the text - an effect achieved through the spareness of Savas's prose style' TLS

'Like little slices of distilled humanity, these stories capture life at its largest and its smallest. Exquisitely emotional, millimetre precise, and with a singular Savas-specific atmosphere that is hard to describe or pinpoint, but unmistakably there from the first page. With LONG DISTANCE, Savas has cemented herself as one of my favourite contemporary writers.' Jenny Mustard, author of WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE and OKAY DAYS

'An exceptionally elegant, intelligent, and original writer' Sigrid Nunez

'The rigor of Didion and the tenderness of Sebald' Catherine Lacey

'One of my favourite writers' Katie Kitamura

In Savas's astute and absorbing collection of stories, her protagonists find themselves questioning long-held assumptions about their innate qualities as encounters with friends and strangers, lovers and family members, prompt reevaluations that can sometimes be gently forgiving and at other times quietly devastating."
