This is a book you simply must get. "Pretty" is a masterclass in writing.
I'm reading one piece a morning because to read them all at once, for me, would deny the immense power of each one. Chinquee's fictions are weighty with meaning, clear and concise, filled with unusual imagery, but at the same time, familiar. They are examples of controlled language so fine they even look pretty on the page. "Pretty" has made me fall in love with Flash Fiction all over again.

Wow!!! I can't wait to read!
It's gorgeous, Sue.
Thank you, Kat! (:
Kat, this is exactly how I'm reading it too: in teaspoons, like poetry, even though you're right that this is fiction. And the more she carves away, the more it weighs. Why is that? Isn't PRETTY gorgeous?
