About the Book

A dazzling, lively, and masterful collection of short stories that is the recipient of the inaugural Holy Cow! Press First Fiction prize. Nearly every story has been previously published; three have won the Tamarack Award, the Waasnode Short Fiction Prize, and the Moment/Karma short fiction prize. With humor and insightfulness, the topics range from motherhood, Jewish American culture, marriage/divorce/old age.

About the Author :
Miriam Karmel is author of the novel Being Esther (Milkweed Editions, 2013). She is the recipient of Minnesota Monthly's Tamarack Award for her short story, The Queen of Love. She has received numerous other prizes for short fiction, including the Waasnode Short Fiction Prize, the Kate Braverman Short Story Prize, Moment Magazine/Karma Foundation Short Fiction Prize, and the Arthur Edelstein Prize for Short Fiction. Her stories have appeared in numerous literary journals and magazines. Subtle Variations and Other Stories is the recipient of the inaugural First Fiction Prize from Holy Cow! Press.

Review :
The characters in Miriam Karmel's collection of linked stories hold the expanding collective lives of extended family together through a cherished and cared-for history of Holocaust survival that is present and always heard even when it is unspoken, incomplete, or hidden. There is loss and an echoing grief in these stories as well as gratitude and pride; resilience and a joy in existence are tempered by a sense of obligation that can be both comforting and burdensome. Laced throughout contemporary passages of marriage, divorce, worries about young adult children and the fading of elderly parents are an awareness of losses of the past and a middle generation's connective role to the future. Gently told in prose that is elegantly matter-of-fact while it is lovingly descriptive and detailed, Subtle Variations and Other Stories is a beautiful and moving read.--Linda LeGarde Grover
