Recenzii

"Hahnel is keenly aware of the daily suffering of life, and once in a while, of the sought-for moments of forgetfulness of a troubled place, or of a desperate, short-lived bliss. But there are no lyric flights here, the prose is unadorned, straight-forward and clear, what is unsaid often more important than what is, and her characters are on the move, often aimlessly, from one unsatisfactory situation to another, while their friends become drifters and vanish and reappear and vanish again. These are touching, gentle stories about the lives of women and girls who aren’t lucky in their beginnings or backgrounds, nor particularly wise, and yet, their stories, with their rare and tiny triumphs, resonate." —Sharon Butala, Author of Season of Fury and Wonder

“In these stories, Lori Hahnel reimagines the subject of love... Writing with classical dispassion, she doesn’t moralize, disapprove or romanticize. Instead, she sees and selects and exposes the wilderness of the human heart." —Cecelia Frey, Author of Lovers Fall Back To Earth and recipient of the Golden Pen Lifetime Achievement Award

"…part of the strength in Hahnel’s often funny, occasionally sad and always intriguing collection is that they take readers in all sorts of directions." —Calgary Herald

"Vermin is an immersive collection of short stories that demonstrate a notable breadth of talented writing." —Anne Logan, I’ve Read This

"These are well-made stories that offer convincingly conflicted characters. A hospitable, entertaining read." —Alberta Views
"The heartache in Vermin is composed with an honesty about women’s lives and how often a woman’s circumstances can be buffeted by patriarchy, sexism, or a manipulative man who didn’t deserve her trust." —Kathryn Shalley, Freefall
