YA
Gustav is building an invisible red helicopter that Stanzi can see only on Tuesdays; China swallowed herself and is now inside-out; Lansdale's hair grows when she lies. King blends the magical and the mundane in a deadpan delivery that makes it difficult to tell one from the other. This, of course, is the point of her ambitious, affecting work about the traumas we internalize.
