Publisher's Synopsis
Prose. Dana Killmeyer's lush and assured debut novel introduces the reader to a fine new prose stylist. Her controlled, acute imagery strongly illustrates the protagonist's transition, conflict, and awakening in an enthralling narrative about life and personal growth. PARADISE, OR THE PART THAT DIES is a well-written character study of inner turmoil where the straight and clear shifts to the darkly mystical. "Her prose is clear, crisp, understated - yet at times still manages to convey the warp of the dream"-Michael S. Begnal.
