Stephanie Johnson - News

Thanks to Kenny Squires for his review of the collection posted at The Rumpus:

"Johnson zeros-in on just the right details to make these pieces work. She’s able to create rich subtext in few words, which makes each story complicated and true, and makes each character feel alive and familiar. Of any new book that I’ve read this year, One of These Things Is Not Like the Others is the one I’ll return to, one that will reveal itself a little more with each read."

Many thanks to Melissa Lee-Houghton for reading and reviewing "One of These Things is Not Like the Others" for The Short Review:

"The poetry is to be found not in the prose but in the meaning of these stories, which is always oblique, with a small window of interpretation, as Johnson strays from telling us exactly what to think, to allowing us to think for ourselves. She does not betray this ethos by handing us a woven narrative with a conclusive ending, but rather tells Americana parables..."

Adam Robinson was kind enough to read the collection and to pose 11 thoughtful questions about it. The interview is available at HTMLGIANT.
