Kim Chinquee's collection of fiction WETSUIT, published by the nationally-known publisher, Ravenna Press, was favorably reviewed by award-winning writer Aimee Parkinson in the current issue of RAIN TAXI: ”Kim Chinquee’s Wetsuit takes hold of the reader, making one feel there is a fine line between fiction and real- ity. Precisely written in a clean, clear, minimal- ist style, these brief stories are about the ways we protect ourselves from pain while immersing ourselves in life the way a fierce swimmer immerses herself in the deepest of waters. These flash fictions stand on their own, but if one envisions the women in the stories as the same woman, they also have a sense of continuity, so it is easy to read the book as an episodic short novel with flash chapters." http://www.raintaxi.com/rain-taxi-review/print-edition/?fbclid=IwAR1dynN2dARdcSFBp1pFCI0JGhuZxhhnaup1v2IsLozaviNlHsuTZLgc0v4
