Wasserstein, Izzy
Entry updated 4 November 2024. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US poet and author who began to publish work of genre interest with "Unplaces: An Atlas of Non-Existence" in Clarkesworld for March 2018; a representative sample of her incessantly Equipoisal short fiction has been assembled as All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From (2022). Wasserstein's first novel, These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart (2024), is carefully attentive to the emotional states of its cast, including a Clone; the action unpacks in the Near Future ruins of Kansas City, focusing on a commune where the private-eye protagonist's former lover has just been murdered. Gender complexities irradiate the tale. [JC]
