Acaba de sair nos EUA, pelo selo Two-dollar Radio da Seven Stories Press (@7storiespress ), o livro de contos de Nora Lange (@nora__lange ), DAY CARE (CRECHE), sua segunda obra de ficção, depois do romance US Fools. Fica claro que está despontando uma nova estrela no céu da literatura norte-americana. Impressionante recepção.
No Los Angeles Times, DAY CARE entrou na lista dos 20 livros mais aguardados a serem publicados em 2026: “uma coleção de histórias que eleva à forma de arte a fadiga de simplesmente existir no primeiro quarto do século 21”. Do romance US FOOLS, título claramente intraduzível, um crítico resumiu como a exploração do “lado escuro do sonho americano”.
“Nora Lange’s follow-up to her Los Angeles Times bestselling novel “Us Fools” is a collection of short fiction that confronts family dynamics while cozying up to the surreal. These short, dense stories are clotted with information — personal quirks, relationship histories, family lore — and simmer with sexual tension that is often joyously perverse. Lange rarely sticks with one timeline or point of view and the result is a unique and unpredictable collection that elevates the fatigue of simply trying to exist at the quarter pole of the 21st century to an art form.”

“The world of these stories is a grotesque mirror image of our own, where repressive gender roles are amplified to the point of comedy. Excellent, biting satires from a unique feminist lens.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Read more than a couple of these slippery gems, and you run the risk of calling up friends and even strangers and saying, Hey, don’t hang up—listen to this…!
—Ed Park, Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Same Bed, Different Dreams
