It was a true privilege to read an advance copy of How We Disappear. This is a gorgeous and wide-ranging collection of finely penned stories by an author who knows how to create atmospheric detail that brings a wide variety of landscapes to life. Masih is adept at creating memorable characters - the range and depth of their stories show great skill, and the attention to nuance are immersive. There's something for every mood and inclination in this collection. I savored each story and will no doubt return to this collection, which calls to its reader long after the last page is turned.
