Lindy Biller’s striking debut chapbook, selected by Matt Bell as the winner of the 2021 Chapbook Open from The Masters Review, is a testament to the power of flash fiction. Across thirteen stories, Biller experiments with form, explores themes of identity, motherhood, and loss, and anticipates several endings of the world. Zara, aboard the Ark, contemplates a new world after the Flood in “This Was Never Ours.” In “The Rapture Phenomenon,” episodes of “spontaneous human vanishing” are recounted and questioned, and faith is shaken, and a window of opportunity is opened for those looking to make a change in their lives. At the center of “Hivesong” is an impossible pregnancy, capturing the attention of the entire nation. “Lindy Biller’s Love at the End of the World,” writes Matt Bell, “is a book full of clear invitations and provocations, surprises and thrills… thrillingly bittersweet.”
