House Gone Quiet: Stories
Norris’s ruminative characters drift through their communities and lives like ghosts, free to roam and ponder their haunts yet fixed in space ... In different styles and tones, Norris and Key share an interest in the ways that being bound — to an event, to an act, to a place — shapes notions of freedom. Norris’s stories largely center on collectives ... Norris slinks between genres and forms across the collection, from literary fiction and magical realism to satire and a ghost tale. But her storytelling isn’t always as accomplished as her lithe and polished writing.
