Synopsis:

Surreal and audacious. Jafek's writing brings to mind the fantastic short fiction of Borges, Boyle, and Calvino—exhibiting an imagination the likes of which is rarely seen. Many of the nine stories have already won the author critical acclaim ranging from The Pushcart Prize and the Carlos Fuentes Award to inclusion in several volumes of The Best American Short Stories. Combining ofibeat and wildly intelligent humor with an unerring sense of post-modern absurdity, Bev Jafek otters a bracing look at modern technology, modern relationships. and the ever-present threat of the future breathing down our necks.

Reviews: Jafek's surreal, postmodern debut story collection features stories that have previously been selected for the Pushcart Prize and The Best American Short Stories anthologies.
