Fictions won the 2023 Miami University Novella Prize

Fictions is a love letter to the curious and often deeply absurd nature of the writer’s life. Honeysett is a marvelous narrator of family, parental, and intergenerational stories, all the time wrestling with the question of how exactly stories get made. Here is a book in which imagination persists through the everyday, transforming and elevating ordinary observations into the same autofiction space out of which the writing of Ernaux, Didion, and Levy comes. Over and over again, this book took my breath away.

– Annemarie Ní Churreáin, author of The Poison Glen
