Synopsis "King of the Gypsies: Stories"

A new generation in Romania--with a few American friends--face communism's ghosts with desperation and dreams. Set against a wild and haunting landscape, the short fiction in this collection spotlight the struggles of everyday individuals to overcome the ghosts they have inherited from Romania's communist past. The book won BkMk's G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction, selected by PEN/Faulkner finalist Lorraine M. López, who writes, "Myka's characters release uncountable fibers, connecting them to one another in the linked narratives, binding them to the harshly beguiling Romania they inhabit and that inhabits them." "Myka's first collection features longing, lonely characters searching for connection on unfamiliar terrains... Myka's 11 tales effectively capture those moments in life when we find ourselves frozen at the edge of a cliff." --Booklist
