The Right Tool is a machine. Step inside each story and transport into another mind. In twenty-three flash fiction stories, Foster presents a succession of bewildered psyches. The quick delivery makes The Right Tool the perfect book to crack open when you need an instant dose of someone else’s strange. Get glimpses of Tokyo, No-Talent night at Al’s Bar in Riverside, and an expedition in the Pliocene era. Accompanying each story, Foster also provides illustrations.
