Stacey May Fowles

Review of Fear of Fighting, from Eye Weekly: “Paired well with Zuber’s drawings, Fowles words are simple and elegant. She has perfectly bottled the ennui and cruel narcissism of people old enough to have bad credit but still young enough to puke outside of bars. Even if you’re comfortably past that age, Fowles’ book is worth the sobering read. After all, we’re never as far from our worst years as we think we are.”

Review of Be Good, from Now Magazine: “Though a cover blurb for Stacey May Fowles’s first novel proclaims it to be essential reading for women in their 20s, Be Good is also essential for 20-something men…I found Fowles’s characters eerily familiar…Fowles builds a constant tension between the external world and how it is filtered by want and need.”

Note: The ad that ran in Eye Weekly this week has the incorrect location for the launch of Fear of Fighting on Tuesday. The launch is happening October 14th, 7 p.m. at The Gladstone Hotel.
