Farris has the gift of making her wildly imaginative worlds feel fully lived-in. Readers of literary science fiction will devour this collection. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Biopunk at its best, complicated and organic and above all compellingly real. -Cat Rambo Clelia Farris is a discovery! Every story surprised me in profound, unsettling, and fascinating ways. -Kij Johnson Creative Surgery by Clelia Farris is not quite like anything else I've read. Stories feel like memories, and memories appear like the sky seen from the bottom of the ocean. There's nostalgia and beauty and strangeness. It is glorious. -Angela Slatter Lyrical, sharp, a little disturbing and, above all, clever- stories that stick in the mind and invigorate the senses. -Foz Meadows By turns charming, pithy, and brutal, Creative Surgery accomplishes so many things so well you'll hardly realize you're still contemplating certain lines weeks later. Devour this book, and then quote its many eccentric characters to mystify friends. But do read it. --Strange Horizons
