Chicago Review of Books, A Most Anticipated Title
“There are so many reasons to put Abby Geni’s new book at the top of your 2024 most-anticipated list . . . There’s her uncanny ability to write the body in all its horrors and joys . . . The lingering hauntings of the COVID-19 pandemic echo through The Body Farm, as Geni takes readers on a journey through the physicality of our bodies and the spirits they carry.” —Michael Welch, Chicago Review of Books
“Destabilizing and beautiful. A rich experience.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“The stories in The Body Farm brim with empathy and imagination. The characters in this collection—from a girl who believes her older sister is a selkie, to a woman who was bitten by a tiger shark and dares to dive again, to a family of women who worry the men who cross their paths are cursed by death, to a planetary geologist who understands the movements of the solar system better than the actions of her alcoholic husband—contend with both the vulnerability and the resiliency of the human body. This book reminds readers that the best short stories have the incredible power to swiftly build absorbing worlds and to populate them with complex, engaging characters. The Body Farm is an extraordinary collection.” ––Karin Lin-Greenberg, author of You Are Here
“The beautiful, daring stories in The Body Farm are tender tales of humans attuned to the natural, physical, and imagined worlds, and Abby Geni writes so deftly, and with such wisdom, about how we negotiate our histories, flaws, and secret longings. My own world felt expanded by her keen gaze. A remarkable collection.” ––Edan Lepucki, author of Time’s Mouth
