Vertigo

"Joanna Walsh's haunting and unforgettable stories enact a literal vertigo . . . by probing the spaces between things. Waiting for news in a children's hospital, pondering her husband's multiple online flirtations or observing the tourists and locals at a third-world archeological site, her narrator approaches the suppressed state of panic coursing beneath things that are normally tamed by our blunted perceptions of ordinary life." — Chris Kraus
