My new book is out!

| Lives of Mapmakers was released in summer 2006. |
Carnegie Mellon University Press released my collection of short stories, Lives of Mapmakers, in summer 2006.Several of these stories appeared first in literary journals such as Ploughshares, Puerto del Sol, and Ontario Review; one received an Honorable Mention in the 2005 Pushcart Prizes for best of the small press. In a review, Utne Magazine noted, ñIn her debut collection of short fiction, Alicia Conroy seamlessly slips between the mundane and the surreal, crafting landscapes where mermaids tumble from creek beds, spring doesn't always follow winter, and bodies consistently resist definition. . . . Lives of Mapmakers is sensual and gratifying. Each story is distinct as Conroy exercises a range of narrative techniques and voices, but together they're a coherent exploration of longing, hope, and the pursuit of meaning.î LIVES OF MAPMAKERS can be ordered through your favorite independent bookstore, or online at Amazon.com, Powells.com, and Barnes & Noble.ISBN: 0-88748-451-4, trade paperbackDistributor: Cornell University Press Services, tollfree at 800-666-2211 |
