Description
Lionel Shriver's first collection, *Property*, delves into the multifaceted concept of ownership, exploring both tangible possessions and the intangible territories of human relationships. Through ten short stories and two novellas, Shriver examines our modern obsessions with what we own and how it defines us. The collection intermingles American and British settings, featuring poignant narratives like "The Standing Chandelier," where a wedding gift becomes a battleground for jealousy and exclusion. Shriver's incisive prose masterfully probes themes of desire, resentment, and the complex nature of belonging.
