Heather Fowler

4.9/5 (16976 ratings)

Description:A rollicking ride of a magical realist, coming-of-age story that explores sex and gender in ways that will have you laughing out loud. Be prepared to travel light with a somewhat murderous female protagonist en route across the country - where it's so hard to be a strong, violent, little ape girl - looking in all the wrong places for forever kinds of love.ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BEAUTIFUL APE GIRL BABY "Unique and hilarious! I laughed my ass off." Lauren Becker, author of If I Would Leave Myself Behind "Heather Fowler is a magician and she proves it once again with this rollicking and wonderfully subversive debut novel. Like her acclaimed short fiction, Beautiful Ape Girl Baby is bursting with energy and wit, humor and heart, cutting social commentary and evocative emotional depth. It’s the kind of book that burns, leaves a mark, and reminds you of the possibilities of fiction." Andrew Roe, author of The Miracle Girl "Fowler has written something impossible and brilliant: Confederacy of Dunces meets Mighty Joe Young meets Pantagruel meets Heathers. I have never read anything like this book, and I'm always thankful for the few times as a reader I get to say that. So thankful for the funny, fierce, feminist words of Heather Fowler." Amber Sparks, author of The Unfinished World and Other Short Stories and the collection May We Shed These Human Bodies "A dark gleaming star of a novel--wild, visceral, yet full of innocence. Fowler never fails to make the strange beautiful, and all that we're told should be beautiful deliciously strange." Angela Readman, Winner of the Rubery Book Award "What happens when magical realism meets feminism? Heather Fowler''s tour de force of a novel, that’s what. Although drawing inspiration from a rich tradition that includes Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carolyn Forché, and more recently, Emily Capettini, Ms. Fowler has created an fully realized imaginative world that is entirely her own. At turns darkly humorous and deadly serious, this novel offers an incisive and powerful presentation of gender as socially constructed, an arbitrary and chance assemblage of cultural norms. As the book unfolds, Ms. Fowler harnesses the resources of the literary arts to build, piece by piece, a more just society. Heather Fowler is a writer to watch."Kristina Marie Darling, author of Scorched Altar: Selected Poems & Stories 2007-2014 "In Beautiful Ape Girl Baby Heather Fowler has crafted a new, loopy, adult Grimm’s Fairy Tale. As audacious as all her fiction, this new book cuts a little deeper; its cleverness carries wit, fancy, and a searching, searing romanticism, all as lightly as a basket for grandma. There’s love, there’s conflict, there’s bittersweet romance, there’s magic. Heather Fowler is an enchantress. I’d follow her ape baby anywhere."Corey Mesler, author of Memphis Movie and Robert Walker "With so much fiction being derivative these days, what Fowler has done with Beautiful Ape Girl Baby is truly sui generis. The life of Beautiful is both a romp through the life of an unconventional heroine (and at times anti-heroine), trying to be herself in a world that is often at odds with her desires and sensibilities--and an instruction manual on the rewards of being true to oneself at all costs. While Beautiful's antics are many and she often finds herself in the throes of the "toska," she possesses wit, charm and a heart full of scar tissue, but is always, in her own, way triumphant. It's a wild romp and well worth it!"Michelle Reale, author of The Legacy of the Sidelong Glance and If All They Had Were Their Bodies "To read Heather Fowler’s Beautiful Ape Girl Baby is to be invited into the lucid dream of a brilliant mind. It might be easier to call this magic realism or even a modern fable, but there is something else at play here that, for me, is not captured in those phrases. There is the beauty of nightmares in this book, with the tender, profound truth of humanity at its core."
