Francine Cunningham's debut collection, "God Isn't Here Today," is a captivating blend of short fiction that has been recognized with several prestigious awards. The collection has been shortlisted for the 2023 Indigenous Voices Awards and longlisted for the 2023 Carol Shields Prize. It has garnered praise from fans of acclaimed authors such as Chuck Palahniuk, Joyce Carol Oates, and Karen Russell.
The stories in "God Isn't Here Today" showcase Cunningham's unique and powerful writing style, as she skillfully ricochets between different forms and genres. The collection takes readers on a dark, irreverent, yet poignant journey, led by a compelling and distinctive new voice.
The characters in the collection are driven by desperation into moments of transformation, facing choices that have profound consequences for their lives. A young man seeks guidance from God in his office, a woman realizes she is the last human on Earth, an ice cream vendor is consumed by the haunting melody of his truck's song, an aging stripper uses undergarments as a means of escape, an incubus grows weary of his professional routine, and a young woman inherits a power that has survived genocide, but comes with its own burdens.
While the stories flirt with the fantastic, Cunningham's writing unfolds with the innate elegance of a spring fern, reminding us of the inherent dualities in human nature and the possibility of redemption even in the most unexpected places.
"God Isn't Here Today" is a testament to Cunningham's talent as a writer and her ability to create compelling and thought-provoking stories that resonate with readers. It is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the art of short fiction and is eager to discover the fresh and exciting voice of a new talent in the literary world.
