“When we are able to move fluidly through the past, present, and future by looking back on a life I believe we become new creatures in our own lives. Judith Barrington's brilliant collection of linked life stories Virginia's Apple is a thrilling book that pulls memories through creative visionary transmography. I felt like I was swimming inside the imagination of all the brilliant women who came before me who have kept me alive, and all the women who are coming after us. With poetic and erotic power, this book helped me remember to keep going as long as it takes for change to emerge. What a triumph. I feel gratitude.” –Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water and Thrust
