:: Account :: The protagonist of this story, Maddie, grapples with indecision and comes from this place where she doesn’t feel there’s room for her, not just physically but in terms of space. The title is passive—there has been—which was deliberate, since she is passive in ways, too. I was at an art museum once when the alarm kept getting triggered, a false alarm, and it made me think of different types and senses of emergencies and how we react to them, the choices we are forced to make even during small emergencies. In this story, I was also thinking about an art museum as a blank, clean, arranged space to which viewers bring their own mess, their own lives. The art museum can be a place you peer into through glass, a reflective surface or a place you look through to something else. It’s a third place, not home or work but other, and I think Maddie is looking for herself in there, or looking for something to call her own or to possess.

Not writing much but I have convinced a new stray cat to come within a few feet of me which is huge progress.

🙀🙀🩵
Excerpt from forthcoming novella Terrestrial by Suzy Eynon from Malarkey Books: Mountain Lake was nestled into the low lap of a mountain studded with saguaro, named, unimaginatively, Black Mountain. The mountain’s surface was shaded by cacti, causing it to stand out from surrounding brown mountains so that Daisy could spot it on the horizon from vantage points on school campus and her neighborhood, where the streets curved upward. It served as a dirt monolith or guidepost to all that she dreaded—school, the insular feeling of the town separated from the city. She had not once been to the location of the lake in Mountain Lake, but heard it was more of a pond.

Being Seen is about obstructed vision/seeing the Dr (and not).

My novella Terrestrial from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social is open for preorders now! Grateful to @joeyhedger.bsky.social who said some generous and smart things about it.

TERRESTRIAL a novella placeholder at Malarkey Books with quote from Joey Hedger: "Here, Eynon writes with poetic precision about contradictions: her characters are charming and awkward, vast and introspective. Her focus is on the lonely, the mundane and the spectacular. TERRESTRIAL is wildly human while exploring that which makes us alien to ourselves and each other.”
