Another hilarious entry from Marie-Helene Bertino!

These stories are small miracles. Bertino is entirely at home in the short story form--all the wildness of her novels compressed into a story, over and over again. I loved living in all these worlds. I need another collection ASAP.

Thanks to the publisher for the e-galley.

Marie-Helene Bertino has done it again. "Exit Zero" is an absolute delight to read, and in true Bertino fashion each story is weirder than the next.
She is a master of the fabulist genre and this collection is not exception. It's definitely a must read.

As a huge fan of Marie-Helene Bertino’s *Beautyland*, I was excited to read her latest collection of short stories, *Exit Zero*.

Like her previous work, Bertino’s writing is both inventive and emotional. She skillfully blends observations of everyday life with elements of magic and humor, all while exploring themes of human relationships and personal identity.

The twelve stories in this collection are whimsical and lyrical, featuring relatable characters. Bertino experiments with various storytelling forms, highlighting the weirdness and beauty of humanity and our connections with one another.

I highly recommend these creative, emotional, and humorous stories. Thank you to Farrar, Straus and Giroux, as well as NetGalley, for providing this advance review copy.
