“Brilliant. Dazzling. The stories in First Law of Holes embody disjunction at its finest and most startling. And always, always deliver each story with a generous serving of heat and heart. It is a Meg Pokrass collection to return to again and again and again.” —Pamela Painter, author of Fabrications: New and Selected Stories “First Law of Holes feels like an entire universe of characters and experiences. Infinite, expanding and dotted with stars.” —Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake “To enter the portals of Pokrassland is to go on a magical journey: here there are sex-charged buffalo men and melancholic women who fear six-foot spiders and fall in love with their therapists. It’s a place where people make bald statements and odd connections, where there are strange animals, purple stars and ‘a deep-ruby moon.’ Unpredictable, funny and charming, the world Meg Pokrass builds is a location readers will enter gladly and, mesmerised, they will most definitely want to stay.” —Nuala O’Connor, author of Nora and Seaborne “The people in these stories need Meg Pokrass. Their lives are tough but her imagination is the fire-lasso that can save them, save us. Here, strange and normal go hand-in-hand, a marriage that explains nothing but makes so much clear.” —Bob Hicok, author of Water Look Away
