Bull and Other Stories showcases a truly remarkable and impressive author who is a master of the short story format

. . . the moments that feel truly new in Bull and Other Stories come when Anderson ascends an implausibility and tips it over into the fabulistic. She has lots of fun burlesquing the well-to-do: a histrionic lesbian power couple tormenting their realtor and each other, a pair of unhappy yuppie parents dining out with their bearded baby girl.

There’s a remarkable no-nonsense intelligence and grace to these funny, ugly stories; they brim with the assurance of an important new literary voice.. If there’s any justice in the Republic of Letters, Kathy Anderson will be wooed away from Autumn House Press with ostentatious cash blandishments by a major publishing house before the year is over.
