What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us by Laura van den Berg

4.0

Laura van den Berg is so good. She's so good. The women in these stories navigate menace and tenderness and confused, misshapen love, and they live and breathe in writing as clear and sharp as anything I've ever read. While not as strong as her second collection The Isle of Youth (and that's a bar set so high thatmost books would struggle to clear it), this book shook and wounded me.
