Kerəktərs, T.C. Kennaley's debut collection, contains eight short stories: The Movement (a journalist in a dystopian future reports on a brazenly individualistic hippie-type movement); Of Deplorable Nature (a wealthy hedonist from the 1920s has to decide whether to adhere to society's norms or stay true to his shameful nature); Plenitudes of Fish (a man discovers that his wife - who refuses to move away from the ocean - is a mermaid who is having an affair with a huge tuna); First Love (a young boy pursues a new girl at school whose father is away on business in a town called Penitentiary); Grump (a curmudgeonly old house is angry that it is once again on the market); The Applicant (a man struggles to find employment in the future because - since most jobs have become fully automated - the interview process for minimum wage employment has become fiercely competitive); The Dawn (a primitive man awakens one morning to discover that he has undergone an unsettling change, now burdened by clarity of thought and modern morality); and Help Thyself (a man turns to self-help books in an attempt to lift his spirits, exploring a variety of therapeutic approaches such as memorizing motivational quotes, urine therapy, and writing a letter of apology to his genitals).
