SJ Bradley 
Maps of Imaginary Towns [EPUB ebook] 

From a futuristic colony where a woman dreams of rockets, to a drab estate where a girl finds magic, SJ Bradley/’s inventive and experimental stories showcase remarkable range. Vividly rendered, they illuminate quiet despairs and heroisms pulsing through seemingly ordinary lives – councilmen, dance moms, dreaming teenagers.With empathy and lyrical prose, Bradley transports readers into psychologically rich neighborhoods where reinvention flickers amid life’s constricting boundaries. Gritty yet tender, Maps of Imaginary Towns interrogates grief, ambition, belonging, and traces the hard-won solace of small acts of courage.
