Ashani Lewis' debut collection, "Everest," is a kaleidoscopic exploration of desire, its obsessions, grotesque demands, and the distance it creates between us. In this collection of twenty-one striking stories, Lewis creates a stark world of fleeting infatuations, violent compulsions, unexpected solace, and the sombre ghost of memories. The stories range from a dying woman dedicating her life to Antarctic ice to an All-American star longing for a romance that defies convention. Lewis's writing is praised for its thoughtfulness, intelligence, and beauty, and she is considered a new talent to watch. "Winter Animals" was praised for its thoughtful, intelligent, and beautifully written examination of privilege, youth, and freedom. Cecile Pin praised Lewis's talent, calling her a dreamlike, piercing examination of privilege, youth, and freedom. Katherine Rundell praised Lewis's novel as atmospheric, beautiful, and delightfully intelligent. Jenny Mustard praised the book as exhilarating and fabulous, and Priscilla Morris praised it as a debut full of ideas. The Telegraph praised the book as a glittering, dark-edged tale that is exhilarating and fabulous.
