As the economy collapses around her in 2008 New York City, recent art school graduate Binnie takes a job as a paralegal to pay the bills. As her art projects languish on the back burner, she begins to obsessively imagine her daily grind expressed in unsettling and sometimes violent dioramas. Somehow, someday, she’ll find the time to construct them. In the meantime, she’ll walk this unsatisfying tightrope between financial stability and the life of a working artist.
But after a shocking and surreal death occurs at the law firm, Binnie wonders if her frustration is pushing her darkest imaginings into life.
Praise for Dreams Under Glass
"A waking dream of a book. . . . This one is going to stay with me for a long time."
—Kris Waldherr, bestselling author of The Lost History of Dreams and Unnatural Creatures
"A darkly delicious exploration of modern entrapment, Dreams Under Glass is both a coming-of-age novel and a horror story about gluttony, greed, and art."
—Nancy Jooyoun Kim, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Story of Mina Lee
"Szilagyi’s story turns to the twentysomethings on the margins, whose friendships, heartaches, and love are threatened most by the self-indulgence of the times."
—Sonora Jha, author of Foreign and How to Raise a Feminist Son
Praise for Daughters of the Air
"What a strong song Daughters of the Air is, a chilling and beautiful novel that has left its indelible mark on me—I am simply in awe of Anca Szilagyi's prose, her Calvino-like gift for illuminating the darkest subjects, and her fearless, fever-bright imagination."
—Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia!, Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize
"A riveting and magical lament: for childhood, for the lost, and for the disappeared. Szilágyi has written a heartbreaking pageturner, rich in history and humanity."
—Sean Michaels, author of Us Conductors, winner of the Giller Prize
"[Szilágyi's] work feels like a fairy tale—the sort of thing you'd find handwritten on a tiny scroll . . . under a mushroom in the middle of a forest on the longest day of the year."
—Seattle Review of Books
