November 2009: "Beautiful Soon Enough"
Fiction Collective Two's
American Book Review/Ronald Sukenick
Innovative Fiction Prize
Published by the University of Alabama Press
"Margo Berdeshevsky understands the diabolical complexity of the human heart, and how eros is a form of intelligence as well as a drive. Writing with lyric accuracy and necessary forgiveness about the turmoils of love, she also declares the 8th Deadly Sin: the refusal of intense experience." SVEN BIRKERTS
"Margo Berdeshevsky’s "Beautiful Soon Enough" is a thrillingly cutting-edge work of photos and short short stories flowing together into an extended erotic dream that limns the inner lives of women deeply yearning for connection and authenticity. This is a splendid book by a fine poet turning into an equally fine fiction writer." ROBERT OLEN BUTLER
