A collection of short stories moving through time and place, exploring the spaces where we haunt each other and ourselves through our choices, our institutions, and our dreams.
Adam Soto, author of the debut novel This Weightless World, which Robin Sloan called the social novel for the 21st century, returns with Concerning Those Who Have Fallen Asleep.
In the title story, a one-armed Harlem Hellfighter goes in search of his specially altered military uniform while Influenza ravages Philadelphia. In Sleepy Things, a man is bound to the bedside of his comatose girlfriend who haunts his mother's dreams. In Wren & Riley, a couple travels to Wyoming to visit a childhood friend who killed her abusive husband. And in The Vegetable Church, a pair of Syrian sisters, refugees of the civil war, find themselves at a crossroads in the home of their European hosts while their dead father whispers to them words of comfort and guidance.
The stories in Concerning Those Who Have Fallen Asleep, strange and unsettling, explore the quiet spaces where the living and the dead alike haunt one another through their choices, dreams, and institutions.
