About
A previously unpublished collection of short fiction from Katherine Dunn, author of the bestselling novel Geek Love.
Near Flesh: Stories is the first and only posthumous collection of previously unpublished short fiction by Katherine Dunn. The nineteen stories explore themes of motherhood, desire, violence, and the complexities of human relationships through sharp, often unsettling narratives. From characters confronting the limitations of automated companionship to intimate examinations of ambition and longing, the collection reflects Dunn’s trademark blend of dark humor, vivid observation, and emotional intensity.
“Witty and disturbing, this posthumous collection showcases Dunn’s skillful writing and visceral storytelling.” — Library Journal
