We are very excited to announce that next summer we're publishing Rachel Yoder's debut short story collection Infinite Things All At Once.
The young women in Infinite Things All At Once emerge into adulthood earnest, innocent, and reaching. As they move from farms to cities, from small-mindedness to enlightenment, they are dazzled by their freedom — and, just as often, violated by it. In quiet, powerful prose, Yoder renders young womanhood exactly as it is: nebulous and fleeting, unforgiving and unforgettable.
Rachel Yoder grew up in a Mennonite community in the Appalachian foothills of eastern Ohio and earned an MFA in Fiction from the University of Arizona and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Iowa, where she was an Iowa Arts Fellow. Rachel’s writing has appeared in the The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Paris Review Daily, and The Sun Magazine. Her work has also been awarded The Editors’ Prize in Fiction by The Missouri Review, notable distinctions in Best American Short Stories and Best American Nonrequired Reading, and as runner-up for the Chicago Tribune's Nelson Algren Award. Rachel lives in Iowa City with her husband and son.
