New York Lonely
2014
“In her collection of short stories, New York Lonely, Rochelle Ratner renders lives in snapshots from a camera that captures the inner as well as outer detail. Here is the contextual mystery of Thomas Mann wed to Tillie Olson’s eye for the deep quotidian, and gender fantastically rendered by Margret Atwood but mediated by the shadow weave of Steven King.”
