One of LitHub, Bookshop.org and i-D's most anticipated books of 2024With her novels The Exhibition of Persephone Q and The Visitors, Jessi Jezewska Stevens has proven herself as our preeminent purveyor of comical, techno-millenarian unease. Now, with this first collection of her acclaimed short fiction--originally appearing in such venues as The Paris Review, Harper's and Tin House--some of her very best work is at last readily available to readers.>With each story exemplifying Stevens's ability to examine the big questions through the microscope of a shambolic human perspective, Ghost Pains is a triumphant statement of purpose from one of our greatest young writer-thinkers.
