The Evening Papers
Matthew Kirby burrows down into his wonderfully odd fictions with a rigorous wit, intellect, and imagination. The richness of his details makes the stories both convincing and tender, and his careful observation evinces a writer who is willing to follow a story wherever it leads, well beyond its basic premise. Kirby’s sentences, stories, and invented worlds possess the quality I most admire in fiction—they’re surprising.
Matthew Kirby has had essays in Metaphilm.com and Conjunctions. His short stories have appeared in 3rd Bed, AGNI and various other journals and papers. He lives in New York.
