Kelly Link’s debut novel, The Book of Love, is a combination of realism and the supernatural, a favorite technique of hers that she’s utilized throughout her numerous short stories and collections.
This story centers on a group of teens who are brought back to life after a year of being dead. When they return, they’re as clueless as we are, but with the help of some magical beings, they begin to figure out what happened to them and what happens next.
I recently spoke with Kelly Link about a slew of subjects… from balance to the magic of music, and much more.
