Her stories are born of keen observations, revealing a world I didn’t know existed, and already I am desperate for more.
At every opportunity, Alling twists the mundane into the wild and unexpected. “Meredith Alling’s song is one I haven’t heard before, her every sharp note a surprise. Ryan Stradal, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest “Bold, hilarious, beautifully strange, consistently surprising, and brilliantly unique - this collection asserts Alling as a daring new American voice.” – J.
I love this book.” – Ben Loory, author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day “Small, intricate, diamond-perfect stories that glow with mystery and joy. With an ancient ham crawling out from a sewer to tell fortunes, a lone blonde at a party for redheads, and a mother outsmarting a masked criminal, Sing the Song bleeds and breathes with dreamlike surprise. Featuring 27 stories in 130 pages, Alling’s collection is propulsive, dangerous, often funny, and powered by a language that wrestles with anxiety and the unexpected surrealism of modern life. For fans of writers like Diane Williams, Amy Hempel, Lydia Davis, Ben Marcus, and Amelia Gray, Alling’s debut will signal the arrival of a new unique voice in fiction. After steadily garnering attention and gaining fans with her appearances in various magazines and websites, Meredith Alling comes out with her debut collection of stories, Sing the Song.
