Michelle Richmond is the author of the award-winning story collection The Girl in the Fall-Away Dress, the novels Dream of the Blue Room and No One You Know, and the New York Times and international bestseller The Year of Fog. Her new novel, Golden State, will be published by Bantam in 2014.
"Michelle Richmond's extraordinary imagination leads readers into
grounded yet fantastic worlds in which men walk on water, a woman
marries a scaled sea creature, and couples take journeys that
mirror their interior life. Richmond writes elegantly and
convincingly from the point of view of either gender--a feat unto
itself. And her characters--ranging from a lawyer who defends
murderers to enigmatic diplomats--reveal her wide and expansive
mind. Hum is a collection not to be missed." --Thaisa Frank, author
of Heidegger's Glasses and Enchantment
"These stories are mesmerizing, sensual (and often wonderfully
sexual), beautifully imagined tales that lead us from the familiar
to the intimately strange. Richmond writes as if she lives
comfortably in this world and another dreamy, concurrent dimension
that is achingly just beyond our ken."--Brad Watson, author of
Aliens in the Prime of Their Lives
