SUMMARY:Tessa Fontaine\, author of The Electric Woman
DESCRIPTION:Tessa Fontaine’s writing has appeared in PANK\, Seneca Review\, The Rumpus\, Sideshow World\, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA from the University of Alabama and is working on a PhD in creative writing at the University of Utah. She also eats fire and charms snakes\, among other sideshow feats. She lives in South Carolina. The Electric Woman is her first book. \nAdvance praise for The Electric Woman \n“With fearless grace and piercing intensity\, Tessa Fontaine juxtaposes the thrill of eating fire with the luminous mystery of her mother’s devastating strokes and harrowing transformations. I have never read a book more tender or more true. We all live in a World of Wonders\, a world of terror. The Electric Woman delivers us to the potent mercy of unmitigated love\, the passion of shared suffering\, the resilience of the spirit\, and the ecstasies of our transfigurations. The heart breaks\, and breaks open—in the divine light of despair\, we discover radiant joy: the hidden holiness of every breath\, every being\, every moment.”\n—Melanie Rae Thon
