Your Duck is My Duck is our Book of the Week this week. Each of Deborah Eisenberg's perfectly poised, preternaturally aware, precisely composed  and enjoyable stories carries the heft and resonance of novels (and take her about as long to write). 

>> "I never both think and write."
>>"I do feel myself to be anaesthetised."

>>“Entering Eisenberg’s fiction is like diving off a cliff into a freezing lake: you are plunged into a world of confusion, with no one to help you get your bearings and no recourse but to struggle your way to the surface. Her openings are trapdoors, pushing the concept of in media res as far as it can go."

>>"Reading Deborah Eisenberg is like landing, slightly disoriented, at a series of unfamiliar destinations."

>>On short-form fiction. 

“If our culture can produce a writer this wonderful, there must be something beautiful about us yet.” —George Saunders
