Reviews

A dazzling dissection of our twisted attitudes about race, culture, history, and truth.
Each story in this superb collection offers an observation of modern life that feels urgent and vital, and confirms Evans’ place as one of the most electric and insightful voices writing today.
There’s an elegant, barely suppressed emotional explosiveness to Danielle Evans’s sublime storytelling. . . Fear and fierceness, grief and grievance push-pull Evans’s complex, entirely convincing characters in every conceivable direction.
With the seven brilliant stories in The Office of Historical Corrections, Danielle Evans demonstrates, once again, that she is the finest short story writer working today. These stories are sly and prescient, a nuanced reflection of the world we are living in . . . wickedly smart and haunting.
