Tea Obreht says &quot;Man V. Nature is as close to experiencing a Picasso as literature can get: the worlds in Diane Cook&amp;rsquo;s impressive debut are bizarre, vertiginous, funny, pushed to the extreme-but just familiar enough in their nuances of the human condition to evoke an irresistible, around-the-corner reality.&amp;rdquo; And the Boston Globe says &amp;ldquo;Here&amp;rsquo;s a good rule: If Diane Cook wrote it, read it&amp;hellip;Safety is tenuous, if not an illusion, in her thoughtful, unsettling, and darkly funny collection.&amp;rdquo; Monologue topics: Kathleen Hale, Blythe Harris, don't feed trolls, Goodreads, stalking.
