by Laura Kasischke ‧ RELEASE DATE: Ap A broken young woman living in bleak little Suspicious River, Michigan, compulsively reenacts the role of victim in the sexual and physical violence she witnessed and suffered as a child—in a chilling but elegant first novel by poet Kasischke. Out back, Suspicious River ran swirling and black, but the water looked clean, and there were swans who congregated on the motel lawn like a tea party of rich old women and movie stars, stretching and honking along the river's clammy banks, a few lounge chairs scattered around where you could recline with a bottle of Orange Crush or beer and watch those long birds extend their subtle necks, open and close their wings, slowly lift and lower their webbed and prehistoric feet as if they had. Suspicious River is different. It's about a young woman, Leila, who has started working as a prostitute at the motel where she handles the front desk. It is much more htmlgiant-esque than target-esque like her later books, and it makes me want to read the rest of them to see if this was a subtle shift I loved Laura Kasischke's In a Perfect World, and we're publishing her new book, The Raising, in March.
