"Tillman has a fondness for this kind of paradox—the way opposites tend to collapse in on themselves. In her stories, fiction and reality have a tendency to give way to one another." —The Brooklyn Rail on Lynne's latest collection, THRILLED TO DEATH. brooklynrail.org/2025/04/books/…

THRILLED TO DEATH by Lynne Tillman is a Ryan Ornelas editors' choice! 📚 "In an era of truncated attention spans, her short stories, some verging on micro, seem newly with-it." buff.ly/enLGGo3
