Both bold and delicate, this collection of eloquently written stories delves into issues of desire, sex and sexuality, and misfits with a variety of tales. The experimental writing swiftly moves through inventive, esoteric plots with a brazen voice that extends an invitation to readers to relate to impossibly private lives. Fearlessly exploring those things culturally considered grotesque and monstrous, these thought-provoking stories find a beauty and intimacy in unlikely characters and their arcane stories.
