Ingenious and original in its execution, Riverine is a collection of short shorts that is richly imagined and compelling. In twenty-five vibrant pieces, Lukasz Drobnik shows us a vision of ourselves that remains with us long after they are finished. Whether it is about what Neptunes could hold or the death of a pregnant sperm whale to an endless loop of life and simulations within a heart, the characters in these restrained spaces crackle with light and self-awareness, and about what makes life a murky and joyful ride.Tara Isabel Zambrano, author of Death, Desire, and Other Destinations
