This collection of stories explores relationships at their most fascinating – generational conflicts, agonizing love affairs, domestic dramas – with unflinching precision, acuity, and clarity. From a middle-aged janitor stuck in a factory job to a wife unbridled by her film director husband’s sudden death, the stories in this collection are as wide-ranging as they are razor-sharp. “They’re small, incredibly well-observed stories [that are] not sentimental,” says Nelson “It’s an odd and really fascinating collection.”
