Souvenirs from Another Life, the first full-length collection of short fiction by Leah Browning, features an abundant selection of stories. Relationships are at the forefront: those between friends, siblings, partners, or parents and children, as well as the more tangential relationships between neighbors or coworkers. By turns sharp and tender, the stories delve into the reality and surreality of love, companionship, and family.
In Caught, a man finds his Tinder date surrounded by vaguely threatening birds. Toward the beginning of The Surrogate Wife, a woman returns after a long journey to discover that her husband's new housekeeper has taken over her home. And in The Costume Wedding, a doctor and her boyfriend travel to Albuquerque to attend a front yard ceremony where they've been instructed to dress up.
Slippery and hypnotic, these short stories illuminate hidden corners of courtship, marriage, divorce, friendship, and familial devotion. Souvenirs from Another Life includes full-length literary fiction, flash, microfiction, and linked stories about the pleasures and absurdities of everyday life.
