Book Synopsis
At times comic, tender, dark, compassionate, and arrestingly bizarre, Gary Barwin''s latest fiction collection marvels at the strangeness, charm, and beauty that is contemporary life in the quantum world. Raging from short story to postcard fiction, Barwin''s stories are mysterious, luminous, hilarious, and surprising.&nbspA billionaire falls in love with a kitchen appliance, a couple share a pair of legs, a pipeline-size hair is given the Nobel Prize only so that it can be taken away,&nbspa father remembers with tenderness, the radiant happiness of his teenage child, trapped inside his body. As the Utne Reader said of his last collection, what makes them so compelling is Barwin''s balance of melancholy with wide-eyed wonder.
