“Stefanie Freele's fiction offers the thrill of discovering details sure to be overlooked by a less alert eye. Her characters take control of their lives by insisting — as their author does — that each moment matters, and can become something resonant and moving and strange in the very best way. Read these rare stories, and you will learn all over again how to look.” — Steve Himmer, author of The Bee-Loud Glade, Editor Necessary Fiction

startling, poignant, bold
By Stephamm
Stefanie Freele belongs to a fascinating company of women writers in contemporary American literature tackling the short story and taking it to new and important places. Like Elizabeth Crane and Stacey Levine (who are building on the work of Aimee Bender), Freele addresses the strange in the every day, and bends the form of the short story, forcing it to contain the surreal, the angry, the maternal, the feminine and the immediate. The most powerful stories for me are the most specific; headliners include "Boots" and "Over the Rolling Waters we go." Other favorites are the lyrically strange pieces that ask what a story is, and invite us to consider what it can be. "Tiny Toasts served with an insufficient amount of Brie" would certainly please Flannery O'Connor, but it would also delight Baudelaire and Tristan Tzara. Smart, and sneakily intellectual, Surrounded by Water is a turbulent, intriguing ride.

Don't Miss this Collection!!
By Book Junkie/GDegani
Surrounded by Water by Stefanie Freele.
Stefanie Freele’s collection, Surrounded by Water, contains stories with strong, often lyrical, language and believable, down-to-earth characters, each piece, a reading experience. It’s her women I am drawn to. They’re tough. In “Over the Rolling Waters Go,” the creeping reality of a wife and mother is juxtaposed against the peppy gung-ho spirit of her husband and his idea of family dynamic. What seems at first blush to be an innocent virtue turns out to be bullying very quickly. The suspense builds and…I won’t talk about the ending.
Another mother, in the short but totally satisfying, “If the Unsuitable Neighbor Smells Snow,” shows her own fierce determination.
“A Bunch of Cash Landed my Way” brings us humorous wishful thinking and “The Problem of Pillows” illustrates Ms. Freele’s deft touch at dialogue. For example, when a student runs into professor with the instincts of a sybil.
Excerpt:
“You again,” she [the professor] says without glancing my way. “You’re not locked in the Bermuda Triangle.” This is stated like a professorial fact, one she may test me on next Tuesday.
I check my person and confirm I’m not locked anywhere; but as always, I’m intrigued by mention of the Bermuda Triangle, a place you may enter, but gamble on an exit. I respond, “I’m free to come and go.”
The professor predicts the student will need a new pillow and because the prof has been right in the past, and the old pillow is one of “procrastination,” the student runs out and buys a new one, “a down one, filled with pluckings from once-warm bodies.” One of my favorite lines in the story is “All of my unfinished business lies upon that pillow, snuggles along its two-hundred thread count loveliness.” Wonderful combination of image and meaning and this kind of language can be found throughout.
And then there is “While Surrounded by Water,” for which the collection has been named. I’m tempted to call it a “flash novel” because though it is the length of a short story, the content is as gratifying as a much longer work with characters in crisis coming to grips with who they are. Once again there is a strong, tough woman at its center, one who is underappreciated but full of life and determination. This seems to be a theme in Ms. Freele’s work. Quiet triumphs over what life dishes out.
Published by Press 53 out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with gorgeous cover designed by Kevin Morgan Watson and art by Dariusz Klimczak, Surrounded by Water is a collection worthy of a large appreciative audience.

More than a writer to watch: A Writer to Read!
By Bruce H. Rogers
Full disclosure: Stefanie Freele was my student, and writing teachers are, for better or worse, said to have a professional interest in the success of their students. So let me say up front that I can take little credit for Stefanie's success. And very successful she is, as success is measured on the page.
Stefanie Freele is a terrific writer. Her stories are funny, surprising, poignant when you least expect it, and true even at their most exaggerated. Her books (this is her second) are literary gems. If you like fiction that packs a lot of story into a very few pages, if you enjoy the likes of Ray Vukcevich or Lydia Davis, if you wonder what Italo Calvino would have been like as an American woman raising a family, then this book deserves your attention.
At this stage of a young writer's career, someone is liable to say something like, "Stefanie Freele is a writer to watch!" That usually means that the reviewer expects better work ahead. While acknowledging that any writer is liable to get better over the course of a career, Freele isn't a writer to watch so much as a writer to read right now. Don't wait. Start reading her now.
