Jess Arndt’s debut collection LARGE ANIMALS tops Brit + Co’s list of 3 New Sets of Short Stories That Speak Volumes, and lands on Bookriot’s list of 12 Excellent Small Press Books to Check Out in May and Lesbrary’s Queer Women Books Out In May. Lesbrary writes, “ Jess Arndt’s striking debut collection confronts what it means to have a body… Large Animals pitches toward the heart, pushing at all our most tender parts―our sex organs, our geography, our words, and the tendons and nerves of our culture.” Jess was also interviewed by New York Magazine’s The Cut.
