From the author of the âurgent and heartfeltâ (San Francisco Chronicle) novel The Companions, a genre-bending collection of interconnected short stories in the tradition of Jennifer Egan and Karen Russell.
An angry mother turns into a literal monster. A company in San Francisco can scrub your entire reputation and create a new oneâŠfor a price. A failed actor on a reality show turns into an unlikely world savior. And much more.
Through each of these twelve interconnected stories, people, places, and even realities are masterfully blended. âFunny, tender, and compulsively readable, Katie Flynnâs warmhearted collection is an absolute gem, with an enormous generosity of spirit and keen wit on display in every lineâ (Maryse Meijer, author of Rag).
