Winner of the 2023 Rising Writer Prize, Half-Lives is a playful debut short story collection imagining women’s lives in a world free of social limitations.

Amid heightened restrictions about what women can and cannot do with their bodies, Lynn Schmeidler’s collection is a humane, absurd, and timely collection of narratives centering on women’s bodies and psyches. Lively and experimental, these sixteen stories explore girlhood, sexuality, motherhood, identity, and aging in a world where structures of societal norms, narrative, gender, and sometimes even physics do not apply.

The protagonists grapple with the roles they choose and with those that are thrust upon them as they navigate their ever-evolving emotional lives: A woman lists her vagina on Airbnb, Sleeping Beauty is a yoga teacher who lies in state on the dais of her mother’s studio, and a museum intern writes a confession of her affair in the form of a hijacked museum audio guide
