Content

Rilla Askew’s wonderful novel shows us why fiction is more essential than ever. Her unflinching portrait of a family whipsawed from within and without is a story for our time, the story of a struggle to find some measure of peace and certainty in an unhinged world. It’s proof of Askew’s flat-out genius that Kind of Kin is merciless, yet strangely full of mercy – read it through to the last page and you’ll see what I mean.– Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk
