Mathilda Zeller
"Mathilda Zeller's novel reminds us that our history and our stories have teeth. It Looks Like You In the Dark teaches us that the blood within us and the nature that surrounds us have much in common: both can be brilliant, dangerous, and resilient. From the rich portraits of Chukchi, Alaska to the way Tapeesa's voice sings on the page, Zeller's prose is sharp and chilling."
