If childhood and growing up were a ball of yarn Tatiana Ryckman would be one of the few writers I'd trust to unspool it just so patiently and sweetly Some of the strings she pulls out are so soft yet vibrating with tension humming with sadness
“Maybe it was a commentary a riddle a statement about the evolution of our culture and our values and our needs and the way some needs never leave us no matter how we cover them up How even if we stop watching Wayne’s World both I and II every few months we can’t escape the fact that it shaped us Shaped us into the euilateral triangles of something mass produced but iconic a tiny piece of our cultural geometry”
Tatiana Ryckman is the voice inside of your head I'd never found too many writers that inspire me to be better but Tatiana does just that I'm very much in awe of her talent and that might skew my view of VHSWhen reading this collection I didn't know if it was non fiction or fiction and after reading through all the stories it mattered even less to me There's a darkness to the humor in the collection So many moments where I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be delighted but the writing just pulls it out of me My House Burned Down is a perfect example of the things I'm describingPersonally I think everyone should seek this chapbook out It's an easy and uick read but you'll find yourself revisiting the stories for about a week The writing is very nuanced and particular Check out these stories if you enjoy being introspective
Ryckman’s collection is one I will read again and one I will place into the hands of others with great urgency It takes a rare talent to articulate so clearly some of the subtle yet hugely defining perils of being human Read my full review here
My friend Tatiana wrote her second book Loved it
