Summary:
From celebrated author Agustina Bazterrica, this collection of
nineteen
brutal, darkly funny short
stories
takes into our deepest fears and through our most disturbing fantasies. Through
stories
about violence, alienation, and dystopia, Bazterrica's vision of the human experience emerges in complex, unexpected ways--often unsettling, sometimes thrilling, and always profound. In "Roberto," a girl claims to have a rabbit between her legs. A woman's neighbor jumps to his death in "A Light, Swift, and Monstrous Sound," and in "Candy Pink," a woman fails to contend with a difficult breakup in five easy steps. Written in Bazterrica's signature clever, vivid style, these
stories
question love, friendship, family relationships, and unspeakable desires.
Genre:
Dystopian fiction.
