Emily Fridlund grew up in Minnesota. She holds an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis and a PhD in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Southern California. Her collection of stories, CATAPULT, was chosen by Ben Marcus for the Mary McCarthy Prize. She lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York. HISTORY OF WOLVES is her first novel.
Selected by Ben Marcus as winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction, "Catapult"'s stories depict lives of longing without closure and intentions gone awry. Fridlund's "History Of Wolves" was shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker, and "Catapult" looks set to gain comparable acclaim with the strange and human tragicomedies arrayed here.
