A Short Interview

with Scott Doyle of Lit Scribbler

"In these powerful and original stories, Kate's wonderfully skewed stance jolts us and moves us simultaneously."
—Amy Hempel (author of Tumble Home and The Dog of the Marriage)

“Kate Milliken writes of alienation--between parents and children, husbands and wives--but an alienation infused with rare beauty and emotion.  Hers is a Southern California full of haunting landscapes, resonant symbolism and a constant undercurrent of longing.”
—Gina Frangello (author of My Sister Continent and editor of OV Books)

“To cross the border into a Kate Milliken story is to be aware of the hazard and anxiety that attend every human relationship: characters reach to touch others but can reach only so far, see but fail to connect. Losses must be acknowledged, compromises brokered. Such are the contours of the human landscape, and Milliken renders her flawed and friable characters with sympathy and a heartfelt grace.”
—David Borofka (author of Hints of His Mortality and The Island)

"Anytime I read anything by Kate Milliken, I think, damn, I wish I had written that!  Milliken's stories are brilliant, subtle, fierce, elegant, and wise.  Her writing makes me sit up and pay attention.  I will read anything she writes.  Mark my words - Milliken is the next young writer to watch."
—Deirdre Shaw (author of Love or Something Like It)
