Though no wicked stepmothers or Greek gods inhabit the world of this surreal, magical realist tale set in 1990s Portland, Ore., Keil (All of Us with Wings) steeps the narrative in fairy tale and myth…With ample ’90s references and an empathic, feminist bent, Keil brings a past incarnation of Portland to life in vivid detail…A nostalgic, heady read perfect for a summer day.
