Throughout, Wimmer makes the most of strange situations." --Publishers Weekly "An intriguing, wide-ranging story collection with a hint of magic." --Kirkus Reviews, starred ".the stories in Entry Level are fundamentally fun to read, and the book is a promising debut for a gifted writer." --Las Vegas Review of Books "Wendy Wimmer's new collection, Entry Level , embraces all these sticky, visceral questions with tenderness, heart, and a good deal of humor.

It's work that refuses to take the body out of things." --Kristen Arnett, Electric Literature "The stories in Entry Level are propulsive, funny, delightfully unpredictable, and utterly addictive." --Dan Chaon, author of Sleepwalk "If punchy first sentences are to your taste, Wendy Wimmer's Entry Level is the book for you." --The Washington Post "Wimmer writes with an intimacy and immediacy that take you down a fresh rabbit hole from the first line, each time. Each tale is as smart, exquisite, and surprising as the next. I really didn't want this collection to end!" --Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies.
