The anatomy of an arsonist.

By Rose Devika

"Rose Devika is a garrote of a writer. In her unflinchingly personal The Anatomy of an Arsonist, she can thin language down to a wire around your throat and leave you breathless, wondering where her hands have been the whole time."

- Donny Jackson, Executive Producer of "Dear...," Director of "Still.," and Author of "boy" "A hauntingly visual work.

Devika's talents and experiences belie her youth."

- Richard Aloisio, Former New York Times Art Director

"In The Anatomy of an Arsonist, Rose Devika digs into the dark corners of relationships and looks for the light. She examines the complicated meaning of family and never shies away from the most important relationship of all - the one she has with herself. Her words are often confronting and at times brutal, but this only serves to highlight the poignant tenderness that she also unearths along the way. I think the closing line to "Mania, in Red" can summarize the entire collection, "Memory lane is riddled with traffic." Beautiful, haunting, and real. A soul laid bare upon every page."

- Ruthie Darling, Freelance Writer and Photographer, New Yorker, New York Times & Buzzfeed
