Description
Set against the contemporary San Francisco Bay Area, this collection of four interconnected stories examines the quiet disconnection of urban life. Its characters grapple with obsessive desire, loss, creative paralysis, guilt, and the uncertain passage from adolescence into adulthood, often finding themselves unable to communicate what they feel. With restrained, sharply observed storytelling and understated emotional power, the book captures the loneliness and awkwardness of lives unfolding just beyond the possibility of connection.
