Cities in the Sea

In Cities in the Sea, Maura Stanton taps into the mysterious force of the fairy tale, with its rhyming images and magic patterns. Hans Christian Andersen shows up as a character in one story, and his imagination and ability to reveal the truth through tale-telling sets the tone for the other stories in this collection, which explore the unstable, dangerous world beneath the calm surface of everyday existence.

Maura Stanton's previous books include the novel Molly Companion and the story collections The Country I Come From and Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling. Stanton is the recipient of the Yale Series of Younger Poets award and a two-time winner of the PEN Syndicated Fiction Award. She teaches in the M.F.A. program at Indiana University.
