About Cities I've Never Lived In

<p><i>A book about belonging, and how much of yourself to give up in the pursuit of that,&nbsp;<b>Cities I've Never Lived In&nbsp;</b>offers stories that reveal, with great sadness and great humour, the ways we are most of all citizens of the places where we cannot be.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br></i></p><p>In subtle, sensuous prose, the stories in&nbsp;<i><b>Sara Majka's debut collection</b></i>&nbsp;explore distance in all its forms: the emotional spaces that open up between family members, friends, and lovers; the gaps that emerge between who we were and who we are; the gulf between our private and public selves.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the center of the collection is a series of stories narrated by a young American woman in the wake of a divorce; wry and shy but never less than open to the world, she recalls the places and people she has been close to, the dreams she has pursued and those she has left unfulfilled. Interspersed with these intimate first-person stories are stand-alone pieces where the tight focus on the narrator's life gives way to closely observed accounts of the lives of others.&nbsp;</p><p><i>"All [these stories] provide spellbinding portraits of people in a state of flux or going nowhere fast, and they show Majka as a writer attuned to the depths and complexities of human emotion."&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Malcolm Forbes, The Minneapolis Star Tribune</b></p><p><i>"[These stories are] anchored in keenly observed specific details and pivot around deceptively imaginative plots. These are modest-seeming stories that hold deep truths, by a writer of great promise."&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>John Williams, The New York Times</b></p><p><b>Sara Majka</b>&nbsp;<i>received a graduate degree from Umass-Amherst and Bennington College and was awarded a fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. Her first book, Cities I've Never Lived In, was published by Graywolf Press / A Public Space in 2016. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island where she teaches writing at RISD.</i></p>
