Description

Now in its third printing, this second collection of a dozen interconnected short stories from the celebrated author of 'Monkey Girl' casts a cool eye on the lost and living dead of offices, nightclubs, shopping malls and tidy homes, where pretentious web designers are a dime a dozen. In this wholly unpredictable collection of tongue-in-chic slices of life, Lisick unveils a world of interrelatedness and the often incomprehensible coincidences of everyday life. 'Lisick transforms the mundane into comic-absurd revelations on the human experience' - SF Weekly

Reviews

"Lisick's prose explore the imperfections and accidents (happy and otherwise) that define the postmodern, post-everything life." - San Francisco Chronicle; "Lisick transforms the mundane into comic-absurd revelations on human experience." - SF Weekly
