Pnina Shinebourne is an utterly singular writer. Told in sharp, glinting shards, her stories leave the haunting impression of a lucid dream, strange and startling and making an urgent sort of sense. Unbridled Messiah is a vivid, unforgettable book. — Lucy Caldwell; Pnina Shinebourne’s writing pirouettes through the tricky territories of philosophy and religion. With a light and curious touch, she investigates what it means to be a believer, a woman, a prophet, or any creature shaped by gods and fates. If you could hear the cackles of angels, I imagine they would sound something like Unbridled Messiah. — Rowan Buchanen
