'The stories in Ken Nash’s brilliant collection The Brain Harvest lay bare the sparks and idiosyncrasies of an exceptional mind. Each new story is distinct and memorable in its jewel-like compactness, and the characters we meet are unique and endearing. In subject matter, the stories weave and delve into continuously unexpected territory; from the alien adventures of Emily Dickinson, to the intricacies of bespoke basket-making, time travel, orchestral garden plots, and the great green sea lizards that haunt our parents’ dreams. Nash’s playful and quick-witted style bears echoes of maverick American greats like George Saunders and Donald Barthelme, and recalls the quirkiness of Miranda July. Taut, intelligent, eccentric, and wholly engaging, The Brain Harvest is a wonderful debut for a very talented new writer' (Clare Wigfall, author of The Loudest Sound and Nothing and winner of the 2008 BBC National Short Story Award) 3

  • Ken’s Punny Jokes and Riddles
    Ken Nash
    My book of jokes and riddles could be described as spicy and debaucherous that wouldn’t be for everyone. But I assume that on this day and age, such qualities are superfluous as long as the literature is creative and artistic. My inspiration for the book began after getting into a series of jokes and riddles match with a co-worker at a restaurant where I’ve worked at.
