“Grace Evanoff delivers a collection that defines a generation caught between irony and inadequacy. Tiny Little Landslides offers precisely what its title promises: small moments of devastation, perfectly captured in bite-sized essays that crumble beautifully upon inspection.
Here is a millennial voice wise and witty beyond her age and paygrade, crafting something honest, vulnerable, and infinitely compelling. Evanoff navigates life’s absurdities with the precision of someone who has learned to laugh at existential dread. Her voice is that of the reluctant participant-observer—equal parts Ukrainian nurse cradling your head during an epidural and world-weary bartender watching patrons’ vomit at the county fair.
In a literary landscape that often enjoys lengthy autofiction written as if to win a custody battle, Evanoff makes a compelling case for precision, for observation, for the tiny moments that coagulate to a life. These micro-essays may be small, but the landslides they trigger are anything but.”
—Sylke Rene Meyer, writer, director, performer, educator, and co-founder of the performance groups Studio206 in Berlin and the Family Room Collective in Los Angeles
“Grace Evanoff’s book of micro essays, Tiny Little Landslides is a savory cocktail of unique observations that are shaken, not stirred, preserving their freshness. Each essay gives us a peek into the soul of a deep feeling person who will not shy away from the truths, failures and tiny victories of the human experience. Her insightful voice is strong yet playful and gives me an overwhelming sensation of pride to call this talented writer my friend. Bravo!” —Steve Mosqueda, artistic director of the Drinking & Writing theater in Chicago, alumni of the Neo-Futurists
