"At turns deadpan and compassionate, always wise and complex": Sharma Shields on Erin Pringle's Unexpected Weather Events

Good words by friend and fellow writer Sharma Shields on my next book: 

 “In Erin Pringle’s breathtaking story collection UNEXPECTED WEATHER EVENTS ghosts arrive on wintry nights, the sky bleeds red snow, a hole opens up between heaven and hell, and characters learn to grieve, to laugh, to love, even as the harrowing world around them shudders and quakes with loss. The themes and tone in these pages—at turns deadpan and compassionate, always wise and complex—converse beautifully with the fiction of Miriam Toews and Agota Kristof. This book reminded me: We are not alone in our sorrow; there are always new ways—even in a petrifying darkness—to see and to love.”

Sharma Shields, author of THE CASSANDRA
