Reviews

“There are writers who have the gift of immediately engaging their readers with the sure knowledge that what will follow will be unlike anything else they've read. Jules Archer is one such writer. In Little Feasts, we are invited to a table overflowing with bold, sometimes bizarre, often tender, and deliciously original stories. This work is reminiscent of Miranda July with a dash of Aimee Bender, but make no mistake, it's 100% Jules Archer, a writer of rare verve, compassion, and wit. Indulge, lucky readers!”

—Kathy Fish, author of Together We Can Bury It & Wild Life

“These are all stories of hunger: raging, sneaking, all-consuming. Jules Archer writes characters that understand that hunger and dive into it, in tantalizing and hard-to-put-down stories. Sometimes grotesque, sometimes heartbreaking, always absolutely human in the writing's insatiable desire to find the truth.”

—Chloe N. Clark, Author of Your Strange Fortune and Collective Gravities

“Fragility, anxiety, and vulnerability are all so freshly flushed out into the open in Jules Archer's full collection of stories, Little Feasts. With strong word choices that build into rhythmic, brilliant sentences and paragraphs, this collection is resilient and has a defiant strength within each moment. Each story is spring-loaded and ready for trouble! Hope you anticipate an extravaganza--you'll feel so satiated while tasting this main course, you'll want to keep reading for dessert!”
