Outer Stars: Volume 24

by Kirsten Lunstrum Sundberg

Winner of the Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction

This collection of seven short stories by local Seattle teacher and author, Lunstrum Sundberg, is mostly set in the Pacific Northwest. “Beautiful and haunting,” the stories explore themes of isolation and connection, grief and loss, and resilience and the power of relationships amid environmental collapse. Despite its literary chops, this book is accessible to a wide audience, including young adults, precisely because of its gorgeous, spare writing.

"Puzzle-box narratives containing secret spaces within secret spaces within secret spaces, some concealed so carefully among the interlocking literary mechanisms that one suspects there are secrets in this text that may not be discovered for centuries to come. This book is an extraordinary achievement." - Matthew Baker, Judge for the KAP Prize
