Absurdist flash fictions in \" The Boy is Dead\" depict characters such as a park that hates hippies squirrels and unhappy parents; a woman lamenting a stolen laptop the day the world ends; and birds slamming into glass buildings. \" This Isn't a Conversation\" shares one - liners from overheard conversations found texts diary entries and random thoughts: many are responses to the absurdity and pain of the current political and environmental climate. \" We're Not Here to Talk About Aliens\" gathers autofictions that follow a young protagonist from childhood to early 20s through the murky undercurrent of potential violence amidst sexual awakening; from first periods to flashers; sticker books to maxi pad art; acid trips to blackouts; creepy professors to close calls. In \" The Dream House \" The Past and The Future are personified as various incarnations in relationships to one another (lovers a parent and child siblings friends) all engaged in ongoing conflict. These varied immersive works bristle with truth in the face of unprecedented change. They are playful forms for serious times.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Anecdotes\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Mockler Kathryn\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Book* Hug\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781771668446\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 270 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Short Stories","brand":"Mockler Kathryn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623156982065,"sku":"IN-G-9781771668446","price":17.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781771668446.jpg?v=1724777013","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781771668446-anecdotes","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
