Winner of The Metatron Prize for Rising Authors (Fiction), Casey Bell’s slipstream feminist fiction pulses with otherworldly lyricism. Best friends in a dystopian near-future seek transcendence while serving time for their abortions; a mother reeling from postpartum depression drinks champagne with the ghost of Simone de Beauvoir; a trans woman rapt by visions after a brutal attack anoints a cow as it sinks to the ocean floor. The characters of Little Fury yearn for hope in the rubble of a broken world. Suspended between the real and surreal, Bell’s debut lingers in the slippery in-between of dreaming and waking, voicelessness and uproar, longing and belonging.
