Praise for Self-Portrait with Nothing
A New York Times Best Fantasy of 2022!
"A thrillingly inventive, highly original debut that manages to be both a compelling mystery story and a dazzling meditation on existence. Pokwatka's particular gift is her ability to see a strange concept through to its conclusion." --Booker Prize winner, George Saunders
"Self-Portrait with Nothing heralds a serious talent. It's a story that brims with life, ambition, and joy." --Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors "A beautiful debut about the people we aren't and the paths we don't pursue... Pokwatka's voices are tantalizing and elusive. " --The New York Times "[Self-Portrait with Nothing] had me feeling less alone in my own multiverse. And then that ending, despite bittersweet aspects, had me feeling so full of joy to be alive and working to figure out my own happiness." --Matthew Galloway at Anythink Libraries
