“Smart, sharp, and magnetic. . . . [Strange Loops] evolves into a
chance to reflect darkly on familial bond . . . and to study the
human animal, here so capable and incapable all at once.” —Quill &

"Lean and enthralling, Strange Loops is brimming with the
complexities and questions of human relationships. A story that
burns with intensity and daring." —Iain Reid, author of I’m
Thinking of Ending Things, and Foe
