One of the most original and daring writers in English letters, Michel Faber shows his incredible mastery of wildly diverse literary forms with this, his long-awaited second collection of stories. Faber’s characters in these 17 fictions are often dislocated-fragile beings confronting moments of fracture-in worlds that are both real and surreal. From the achingly sad lives of "The Safehouse" to the moments of exquisite happiness in "Vanilla-right Like Eminem" to the futuristic savagery of "The Fahrenheit Twins, " these are fearless stories that crack our humanity wide open. With his brilliant characterization and pitch-perfect prose, Michel Faber has produced a short story collection that will seal his reputation as one of our most arresting and gifted writers.
