Depending on the Light

Thea Hillman’s smart and sophisticated sudden fiction erupts from a core of urban observations. Whether she’s writing about a tongue-in-cheek analysis of celebrity attraction or a travel tale of being stranded in Laramie, Wyoming, these 33 short stories and poems brim with radiance and gritty compassion, love and lust, anger and empathy.

Acclaim for Depending on the Light:

“Fabulous pieces… wonderfully observed and very potent.” —Ginu Kamani, Junglee Girl

“Thea Hillman looks way past the surface and into the intricate insides of love and sex, safety and identity, the pleasures and dangers of urban life. I’m so glad to be finally able to welcome her work on my bookshelf, taking its rightful place with other writers I love.” —Carol Queen, Real Live Nude Girl, PoMoSexuals, The Leather Daddy and the Femme
