The End of the WorldEnlivened by a wry sense of humor, this collection uses narrative voices that express subtlety and experience in stories that place the characters in a variety of settings--from Japan and Australia to fantastical places where incredible things are possible--and experiments with different perceptions of reality, creating unique situations that span a broad range of experiences. |
