Link's work is truly unique. Time Out New York called her stories “cross-genre gems,” and her admirers in the literary community—from Peter Straub and Karen Joy Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon—reflect the amazing range that makes her style so special. Call it kitchen sink magical realism: Fantastic and bizarre but funny and down to earth, there is something for everyone in Magic for Beginners.]]> 24902 3.90 5565 1043 2005 4 0 false Thu Oct 29 17:44:50 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 17:44:50 -0700 2009
