Description: "Fans of Fiona Mozley's Elmet will revel in this genre-busting feminist folktale of a novel, which is as rooted in its own particular, peculiar time as it is relevant to the concerns of 2018." -- Vanity Fair "[An] eerie, artfully etched post-apocalyptic tale." -- BBC Culture "Rooted in [Hagy's] Appalachia and yet otherworldly, bound by symbols and held just slightly out of time, Scribe is a storyteller's book about the radical power and responsibility of words." -- The Millions "An original addition to the post-apocalyptic genre, Scribe reaffirms the power of the pen and the surviving quality of the human spirit." -- The Arkansas International "A slim and affecting powerhouse. . . . Hagy is a careful writer; each sentence feels as solid and sturdy as stone. . . . Timely and timeless; a deft novel about the consequences and resilience of storytelling." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Hagy probes the weight of responsibility and the desperation of survival in a deteriorated society in this evocative, opaque tale. . . . The vagueness of setting, supernatural elements, and only partially revealed histories amp up the eeriness of this disquieting novel." -- Publishers Weekly "More than a novel. . . . [ Scribe ] defies the hush of a dying world with every breathtaking sentence." --Hrnan Daz "Alyson Hagy has written a lyrical, unsettling novel--part ghost story, part mystery, part love story, and thoroughly, jarringly, original." --Elizabeth Crook
