In serial dioramas of "strange unpacking," Weston Cutter's Stranger invents a singing human science. With Nabokovian care, here are homes and lots and bodies, objects, inverted for their layers, laid open both in witness and design. Here is a calculus of hidden hours and the light of those and what was made between us. Here is a huge eye. —Blake Butler, author of Scorch Atlas and Ever Each radiant story makes its strange sound in a way that is entirely passionate, searching, and inspired. —Deb Olin Unferth, author of Vacation and Minor Robberies
