Full Description
PRAISE FOR CAMILLE BORDAS:
'Camille Bordas is an invaluable new voice' George Saunders
'Funny, humane and slyly philosophical' Zadie Smith
A young woman takes stock after the burglary of her apartment. A teenager becomes obsessed with the obituaries in a weekly magazine. Grandchildren mourn the grandparents who loved them and the grandparents who didn't. Painters and almost-painters try to distinguish Good Art from Bad Art. People grapple with life-altering illness, unrequited love, and promises they have every intention of keeping. Some win the lottery. Some don't.
In these sinewy, thoughtful stories, celebrated author Camille Bordas delves into the mysteries of life, death, and all that happens in between. Darkly funny and poignantly self-aware, Bordas's writing offers a window into our shared, flawed humanity without insisting on a perfect understanding of our experiences.
