"Being a woman is no walk in the park in this debut collection of intricately plotted, sometimes fabulist stories . . . [This is] imaginative work that shows how much women deserve better plots."—Kirkus Reviews
"[B]ewitching and macabre . . . Wallman's incisive writing and bold choices make this memorable and worthwhile."—Publishers Weekly
"The dead commingle with the living in these stories, the animate with the inanimate, the mythic with the literal, the comedic with the grave. Vibrant, wounded, bewildered people somehow find their way through the carnival of twenty-first century America—land of Dino-Golf and Slip 'N Slide and vending machines and Zoinks. Senseless Women is a marvel."—Noy Holland, Juniper Prize for Fiction judge and author of I Was Trying to Describe What It Feels Like
"The stories in Senseless Women are sharp, pushing at the edges of reality to highlight the delightful absurdities of contemporary life. Just when you think you have this collection nailed down, it offers an unexpected pivot or yet another heartbreakingly perfect sentence. With a wonderful sense of variety and a wry sense of humor, Sarah Harris Wallman expertly maps out the madness, joy, and complexities of belonging."—Robert Yune, author of Impossible Children
