"Sofi Stambo's direct and unadorned writing, her pithy, sometimes stinging observations, make her a particularly convincing storyteller. Impressive, too, is her comedic timing, often lightening –without dismissing – heavier realities . . . relationships among family, friends, strangers – despite the everyday maelstrom of movement and chaos – compose the core of Stambo's diverse collection."

–Shelf Awareness on PEOPLE WHO LIVE ALONE TALK TOO MUCH (5/26 @restlessbooks )
New episode of the Migrating Words Podcast is up! In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with @sofistambo , an award-winning Bulgarian-American writer whose collection of short stories People Who Live Alone Talk Too Much, will be published by Restless Books in May. Here’s a description of the book:
"A nervous dog takes flight over Manhattan. A woman soothes her neighbors with multilingual telepathy. A purse snatcher inherits her victim’s scribbled lists—and her worries. In these stories, immigrants to New York City work their way through absurd situations into even messier ones, communing with their fellow diners, officemates, and the local cemetery geese, and greeting chaos with a grin. From Bulgaria to America, People Who Live Alone Talk Too Much pulls at the threads of daily life, unwinding the ordinary into scenes of hilarity, introspection, and surprising connection."
As soon as I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down.
