“Perhaps the most distinctive stories in Alexandra Kleeman’s Intimations are the brilliantly crafted nightmares about the dissolving of reality, but there is also everything here from an elegant Victorian tale of a feral child to a witty disquisition on the mouths of angels. A memory of childhood with an invented sister is told by way of a ‘brief history of weather,’ a romantic breakup by way of apocalyptic metaphors. This is ambitious, imaginative writing of the highest quality.”
