praise
“In Joseph Riippi’s The Orange Suitcase, the fragments come together to create a mesmerizing whole. The fictional world Riippi creates is visceral and vivid, a kind of rabbit hole the reader descends into and is reluctant to leave. A wonderful collection from a deeply talented writer.” —Laura van den Berg, author of What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us
“The orange suitcase . . . becomes an abiding metaphor for the collection as a whole—ungainly but earnest and, in the end, charming.” —Publishers Weekly
