Ep: 1866 Kathy Anderson - Vamoose

Vamoose: Stories is a vibrant, fast-paced collection by acclaimed author Kathy Anderson, blending humor, heart, and literary depth. These interconnected short stories center women who claim their own narratives and shape their own futures. Part literary fiction, part queer celebration, and part darkly comic exploration of modern womanhood, the collection explores loss, reinvention, and the unexpected freedoms that come from letting go. Across shifting moments of change, the stories feature surprising love, resilience, and emotional clarity, often delivered with sharp wit and insight. Before becoming a full-time writer, Anderson worked for more than 25 years as a librarian in small-town public libraries. She has been long listed for The Story Prize, which the NY Times says, recognizes the best story collection to be published each year.
