Críticas
"A wonderfully vertiginous, through-the-looking-glass story collection, packed with Powers's one-of-a-kind humor and insight. With his extraordinary imagination and vitalizing prose, Powers can make anything live, and does. He is fluently conversant with the Devil, the dead, children, animals, astronauts, and newlyweds--and this is just a partial roster of the wild crew aboard this ship. Goofy and profound, lyrical and exhilarating, Gravity Changes is a thrilling, rocket-fueled debut." --Karen Russell "Here is a collection for those in love with language, in love with wonder, and in love with the transformative power of storytelling. These stories will make you laugh and cry and wonder how exactly Zach Powers does it. Powers is brilliant, an ecstatic and exciting new voice." --Bryan Hurt "Gravity Changes is an unceasingly inventive and sharply observed collection of short stories. In it, Powers paints a quirky, skewed world, but one that's wholly recognizable. Readers will encounter characters who defy gravity, lightbulbs incarnate, portals to other dimensions, and co-workers who read messages of guilt etched on one another's foreheads. The collection is darkly comic, and sometimes otherworldly, but always perceptive, exploring a landscape of human emotions: loss, longing, loneliness, and nostalgia. Fantastical and hilarious, profound and melancholy, Gravity Changes is a force of nature, and Zach Powers is a major talent to watch." --Sarah Domet A wonderfully vertiginous, through-the-looking-glass story collection, packed with Powers s one-of-a-kind humor and insight.

Reseña del editor
An entertaining new collection, Gravity Changes is driven by imagination, and its speculative elements go beyond magical realism. The stories are about people having ordinary, human problems, but these problems become part of the physical structure of the universe, twisting the very fabric of reality. Zach Powers's writing is reminiscent of such notable authors as: Aimee Bender, Karen Russell, Haruki Murakami, Italo Calvino, George Saunders, Kelly Link, Steven Millhauser, Amelia Gray, Manuel Gonzales, Julia Elliott, Kelly Luce, Jorge Luis Borges, and Marie-Helene Bertino. BOA Short Fiction Prize winners have led sales in recent seasons, and have seen outstanding attention from the NYTBR, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Booklist, etc. Before Powers became a writer, he was well known as a professional musician and a television producer. In addition to his literary awards and accolades (2015 BOA Short Fiction Prize; 2014 Prairie Schooner Book Prize (Finalist); 2013 Noemi Press Book Award (Finalist), etc.), he has won numerous Emmy awards for television writing, directing, editing, musical composition, etc. Powers is already very connected to the writing community, as he regularly attends writers conferences and workshops (such as the Tin House Writers Workshop). His stories have also been widely published in journals and magazines.
