Judges notes for Him, and Then Her
‘Touches of body horror [...] elegant [...] wonderfully written.’
— Mariana Enríquez
Judges notes for Arrow:
“‘Arrow’ moves seamlessly in and out of time to yield an impressionistic portrait of its characters—both as individuals and as a couple. Potent descriptive language and a lovely sense of rhythm to its sentences. ”
“ ‘Arrow’ is a beautifully woven nostalgic story. ”
“This nostalgic mirage-like story effortlessly conjures the folklore of childhood, the envious tensions of a marriage, and the ways a past can inflict pain on the present and regrow from it: a future.”
