Half-Lives Featured in Electric Lit

Lynn Schmeidler’s debut short story collection, Half-Lives, was included in Electric Lit‘s list of “The Most Exciting Debut Short Story Collections of 2024.” Of Lynn’s work, they said,

Inventive, playful, and evocative, Half-Lives investigates women’s bodies and psyches in worlds that play by bizarre rules—or lack thereof. Schmeidler’s debut collection, which won the 2023 Autumn House Rising Writer Prize, explores women’s autonomy, sexuality, marriage, motherhood, aging, and mental and physical health in unfamiliar circumstances with all-too-familiar resonance. The sixteen imaginative stories are witty, wise, and wonderfully brilliant.
