Product Information

Set against a wild and haunting landscape, the short fiction in this collection spotlights the struggles of everyday individuals to overcome the ghosts they have inherited from Romania's communist past. The book won BkMk's G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction, selected by PEN/Faulkner finalist Lorraine M. LOpez, who writes, "Myka's characters release uncountable fibers, connecting them to one another in the linked narratives, binding them to the harshly beguiling Romania they inhabit and that inhabits them."

Reviews
"Lenore Myka is a skilled craftswoman, sketching stories so exquisite and sincere that their power is unexpected and often fierce. She imbues each tale with candor and nuance, letting her characters thunder forth on their own, unprotected from life's realities yet carried by the dream of how things could be. The result is a portrait of Romania painted by its disenfranchised, its émigrés, and its foreigners, that shakes off stereotypes--or digs down to their roots--and hones in on the hopes and the vulnerabilities that dwell in the human soul. Rarely have I felt so quickly drawn in to a collection of short stories. Rarely have I wanted to begin again as soon as I reached the end." --Sarah Erdman, Nine Hills to Nambonkaha: Two Years in the Heart of an African Village, "Beautifully realized stories of dislocation, yearning and exploration. Lenore Myka has a way of unfolding cultures and characters in mid-flight, flushing Romania or complicated friendships or the mysteries of people's inner lives quickly and skillfully to the surface. A rich and vibrant debut." --Dominic Smith, Bright and Distant Shores, "The stories in Lenore Myka's King of the Gypsies do what we want great fiction to do--illuminate the world for us with fresh lighting. Under Myka's unblinking gaze, the world illuminated is both harrowing and heart-wrenching--Romanian orphans and street kids fighting for survival, the trafficking of teenprostitutes by their 'husbands'/pimps, American aid workers (and American parents of adopted Romanian orphans), feeling out of their depth while trying to help. These are stories complexand relentless, their characters unsparingly yet empathetically observed, the moments of quiet connection rich and startling.Lenore Myka's triumph is that she illuminates not just with fresh lighting, but with lightning." --CJ Hribal, The Company Car and The Clouds in Memphis, " King of the Gypsies is a debut to relish and celebrate. Infused with resonating insights, these stories animate the struggles of individuals who are navigating life in an unfamiliar culture. Whether the condition of foreignness is perceived as threatening or exhilarating, oppressive or liberating, it becomes motivation in this collection to think sensitively, boldly, and creatively about identity." --Joanna Scott, De Potter's Grand Tour , The Manikin, "Lenore Myka's collection of short stories, King of the Gypsies ,heralds the debut of an extraordinary writer. With compassion, insight, breadth of knowledge, black humor, and an exquisite use of language, Myka crosses from Romania to the United States and back again, telling tales of characters cruelly haunted by having lived under totalitarian rule. Each story is brimmingwith wisdom about the human condition; this is an author I would trust and follow anywhere." --Marnie Mueller, Green Fires , The Climate of the Country , and My Mother's Island, "Romania links the characters in this fascinating debut collection, but its territory transcends a single country or history. With great empathy and impressive range, Lenore Myka has given voice to a range of memorable characters--the displaced and the privileged, the lost and the found--and captured their complex longings in stories that leave you moved, unsettled and ultimately satisfied." --Christopher Castellani, All This Talk of Love, "Lenore Myka's work offers the reader an intimate connection to characters who have their very lives at stake as they transcend the complex illusions that are the outcome of hopelessness and helplessness. These are unforgettable stories of love's last extraordinary efforts, and its first. King of the Gypsies presents the most mercy-inspiring tragic fiction you will likely ever read in contemporary literature." --Kevin McIlvoy, The Fifth Station , Little Peg , Hyssop , The Complete History of New Mexico and Other Stories
