Swallow the Sound

'Reading Krissy Kneen’s Swallow the Sound is akin to sitting in a dark theatre of sense. Across the stage in front of you appear stories stripped of all pretension, delivered in writing as rich and lean as you’ll find anywhere. And they do it fearlessly, because they were made by a fearless writer.' Gerard Donovan
