Bookshelves around the globe are filled with heartwarming tales in which compassion and determination conquer all. Road: A Collection of Stories is not among them. Within its pages you'll find six short works that gaze into the abyss-like nature of the human condition.
... A newly retired husband and wife buy an RV, make their way to Florida, and discover that paradise is more dystopian than the life they left behind.
... An exile attempts to return to a domed city where human labor-and humans-are no longer necessary.
... A sheltered teenager goes to a protest at the height of the pandemic, coming face to face with the authoritarian forces she'd only ever seen on TV.
The stories in Road invite you to step outside your comfort zone and engage with our world as it is-sometimes bleak, always messy, but never boring.
