This acclaimed short story collection veers between whimsical postmodern playfulness and a darker realism [with] sophisticated comic flare (Publishers Weekly).
Distinguished by black comedy and an international perspective, Ken Kalfus' stories demonstrate the author's chameleon-like ability to change mode, manner, and voice. They often concern the abrupt dislocation of people bumping into different cultures, be they real, hallucinated, dreamed, or desired.
A book for people who piss and moan about the unpromising future of American fiction. --David Foster Wallace
