Tidal Lock

Longlisted for the 2025 Republic of Consciousness Prize "My name is sometimes Olana. I like to draw things and steal things and go into buildings slated for demolition. . . ." In this arresting story, a mercurial, disoriented young woman slowly unriddles the truth of her father’s disappearance from traces she barely remembers of her past and only tangentially understands of her present. Olana’s turbulent mind is wildly alert, insistent, sarcastic, rambling, amusing, defiant . . . and in its courageous transformation rises from an imprisoned existence toward the freedom and magnanimity of a self reimagined. Tidal Lock’s startling textures, non-linear narrative, direct address, and four-part lyric structure amplify the complexity of Olana’s journey and offer a challenging and provocative reading experience. (Kirkus Reviews observes that “patience brings rewards and revelation.”) Alongside the author's first novel, Sea of Hooks, Tidal Lock — among contemporary masterworks of fiction — may well find a place on the shelf of such enduring titles as Camus’ The Fall, Woolf’s The Waves, Celine’s Journey to the End of the Night, and Kobo Abe’s The Woman in the Dunes.
