Mixing science with humor, humanity, whimsy, and love, Jason Zuzga’s debut collection is a revelation
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Zuzga’s debut collection grows out of the intersection of myth and nature, like a simmering volcano of animal intensity that occasionally erupts in expressions that alternate between euphoria and lament.
