Reviews
"In The Gunman and the Carnival ,Catherine Gammon mirrors the brightly fractured nature of our lives at thesharp edge of this American moment. Her characters are recognizable in theirstriving for human connection in our time of despair and isolation--and in their struggle for footing upon a sinkinglandscape. Stylistically limber and by turns meditative, restless, andmoving, these stories bravely attempt to channel what it means to be alive inthis world now, and now, and now." - Lauren Acampora, The HundredWaters "CatherineGammon's TheGunman and The Carnival is a collection full of strikingly familiardisappointments and betrayals woven through with an appreciation for moments ofbeauty amongst the daily degradations of contemporary life. Told with precisionand honesty, these stories are richly nuanced explorations of desire, regret,hurt, and hard-earned acceptance." - Jenny Irish, I AmFaithful and Lupine "Gammon sharply observes her characters,loves them for their flaws and their hopes, and moves them through worldsdefamiliarized by her punchy, powerful prose. Reading The Gunman and the Carnival made me revel in the joy and intensity ofwhat a story can show us." - Gwen E. Kirby , Shit Cassandra Saw

Synopsis
Timely and introspective, Catherine Gammon's The Gunman and the Carnival is the meeting of contemporary voices and visions that offer not relatability, but an intimate encounter open to strangeness and its embrace. The stories in the inimitable Catherine Gammon's The Gunman and the Carnival -- loosely linked and set in Los Angeles, California -- center on women of various ages and backgrounds. Constructed around themes of solitude and connection, creation and destruction, love and loss, these sixteen stories unfold in a world haunted by individual and collective violence, systemic injustice, pandemic, and environmental duress: not with genre sensibilities of the dystopic or apocalyptic, but with compassion and wisdom that renders a staid, meditative examination of our contemporary challenges. The Gunman and the Carnival does not aspire to be a panorama or to portray the city (or the nation) in its extraordinary complexity. Rather it shines a roving light into the minds and hearts of an idiosyncratic handful of characters living in our difficult times and invites each one to sing. Some of the stories are realist, some oblique and fragmented, others metafictional or surreal, and the urban / suburban landscapes are accented by the occasional appearance of wildlife and the presence (and voices) of trees. Handled with grace and intelligence, these stories chronicle contemporary struggles: the violence and the joy examined in equal measure., Timely and introspective, Catherine Gammon's The Gunman and the Carnival is the meeting of contemporary voices and visions that offer not relatability, but an intimate encounter open to strangeness and its embrace.
