Later it is the air she will remember. The sharpness of it as she inhaled: crisp like paper. She could have been breathing paper. There was a rush of sound, like a train passing, or maybe like she was the train. Thick colors swirled and time became molasses as her legs slowly tumbled around behind her and then over her head. She thought that it was like being inside a spin-art toy. She was the blob of paint spreading thinly every which way, spindling in all directions, pulled flat, slow and hard. That was how she tumbled and then time caught up with itself and she dropped.That intricate dissection of a moment's sensual and emotional register comes through in even the most naturalistic of these stories ("Red Lights Like Laughter," "The Visit"). Circling the Drain reveals Amanda Davis as a skilled crafter of character and tone, and marks her as an author to watch for some time to come. --Ron Hogan
With a visceral bite or a surreal edge, each electrically charged story in Circling the Drain presents women trying to understand the nature of loss-with leaving or being left-and discovering that in the throes of feverish conflict, things are rarely what they seem.
By turns dark and lyrical, ferocious and playful, the stories in Circling the Drain are in every case precise, startling, and undeniably original. Reading them is a cathartic, mesmerizing literary experience-one you will not soon forget.
