Lott, Jessica

Covering topics similar to the themes found in the works of Binnie Kirshenbaum but to a milder degree, Lott, winner of Low Fidelity Press's Novella Award for Osin, explores love, loss, friendship, and second chances in a heartbreaking yet inspiring debut novel. The story line is enjoyable but tends to get sidetracked by asides and descriptions that may leave the reader impatient to get back to the plot. Still, lovers of photography, art, and poetry will enjoy Lott's effort as she goes into great detail on these aspects of her characters' lives.
