Only the Visible Can Vanish is a looking-glass exploration of love, sex and dating: everything here is reflected, refracted, reversed. We are never far away from the fairytale. Anna Maconochie reveals herself to be a fresh and surprising new voice.
Betty Herbert, author of The 52 Seductions
If good writing through the ages either addresses, or puts across, or both, the unbearable fact of our aloneness, then Anna’s work is great. It’s also now, and very, very funny.
Kira Jolliffe, founder of Cheap Date magazine and
co-founder/editor of FANPAGESSharply observed, seductive, slightly eerie, these stories take us beyond the familiarity of contemporary city life to stranger places; sometimes only a room away, sometimes a quantum leap… Maconochie’s writing is also terrific fun.
