Title: HUM book by Michelle Richmond

Publisher: Fiction Collective 2

Summary: HUM. Winner of the Catherine Doctorow Innovative Fiction Prize and the Truman Capote Prize. Foreword by Rikki Ducornet "Hum is disquieting and masterful, emblematic of a book given over to the study of couplings come undone...these stories are wonderfully strange, a strangeness both compelling and convincing." Rikki Ducornet Thirteen years after the publication of her award-winning story collection, The Girl in the Fall-Away Dress, Michelle Richmond returns to the short story form with Hum, a collection of eleven stories that examine love, lust, and loyalty from surprising angles. “You can’t hide from Michelle Richmond. She knows your secrets, she gets under your skin. Few writers expose the mysteries of relationships–and love itself–as cannily, and with as much honest and deadly humor. Each story is a unique and unexpected journey...Hum is an exceptional collection.” Peter Orner, author of Last Car Over the Sagamore Bridgeand Esther Stories Bookshop.org / Barnes & Noble / Amazon / Kindle / Powells
