“In Echo Chamber, Claire Hopple’s precise, shimmering sentences are on full display as she explores the inner workings of these unforgettable characters. Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down—it’s a refreshing, innovative collection.”
—Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I’m Someone Else
“Echo Chamber is a little stinker. A fever dream, it leaves you
disturbed, confused. Maybe even changed.”
—Tyler Dempsey, author of Time as a Sort of Enemy
“Echo Chamber is sharp, wry, wicked fun. Claire Hopple has a light, humorous touch, but there’s no question she means business.”
—Lindsay Lerman, author of I’m From Nowhere and What Are You?
“Claire Hopple is a wildly talented storyteller and chronicler of humanity’s inherent folly. Echo Chamber, her most profound and idiosyncratic work to date, is so full of wit and humor and longing that it reinforces the importance of fiction with the turn of each page. If you haven’t read Hopple’s work yet, rectify that mistake immediately by starting here. If you have, you are once again in for a real treat. Echo Chamber is nothing short of an absolute joy that should be read again and again.”
—Nick Gregorio, author of Launch Me to the Stars, I’m Finished Here
Evoking the black humor of Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Lethem’s way of subverting expectations, and a delightful strangeness endemic to a world of her own, Claire Hopple’s work reveals the enchanting, the absurd, the violent, and the sensational. A woman wants to be caught stealing people’s identities, but nobody is paying attention. A suburban father becomes convinced that he’s transformed into a dinosaur-shaped chicken nugget. A hitman’s target collapses before he can be killed. The novella and stories in Echo Chamber reverberate, wild and beautiful.”
