Motel Diary

Alice Bolin

Praise for Motel Diary

This little book of uneasy meditations, sneaky injunctions, and creepy vignettes cannot be adequately synopsized; it works a mad alchemy on ordinary things—broken dishes, a matchbook, a bench—transforming them into spooky harbingers of nonspecific doom. Alice Bolin knows how to be funny, how to be lonely, and how to fill you up with delicious unease.

J. Robert Lennon
