Hailed by Lauren Groff as "e;fully committed to the truth no matter how dark or difficult or complicated it may be,"e; and written with "e;incantatory crispness,"e; Sleepovers, the debut short story collection by Ashleigh Bryant Phillips.This collection takes us to a forgotten corner of the rural South, full of cemeteries, soybean fields, fishing holes, and Duck Thru gas stations. We meet a runaway teen, a mattress salesman, feral kittens, an elderly bachelorette wearing a horsehair locket, and a little girl named after Shania Twain. Here, time and memory circle above Phillips' characters like vultures and angels, as they navigate the only landscape they've ever known. Corn reaches for rain, deer run blindly, and no matter how hungry or hurt, some forgotten hymn is always remembered. "e;The literary love child of Carson McCullers and John the Baptist, Ashleigh Bryant Phillips' imagination is profoundly original and private,"e; writes Rebecca Lee. Sleepovers marks the debut of a fearless new voice in fiction. Sleepovers is the winner of the 2019 C. Michael Curtis Short Story Book Prize, selected by Lauren Groff.
