Description
In these six tightly wrought stories, a master of psychological fiction turns everyday life into something uncanny—where motives shift, identities blur, and the smallest decisions can redirect a whole emotional trajectory. With the heft and complexity of a novel, the collection follows characters drawn by forces they can’t fully name: a woman whose very appearance seems to set her fate, actors confronting the unsettling truth of their own histories, and a privileged young man whose unexpected love entangles him in a human rights struggle he doesn’t yet understand. Across each narrative, Eisenberg’s signature logic is both inexorable and surprising, conjuring the strange, often contradictory states of mind that shape daily consciousness. Themes of self-invention, memory, power, and the limits of empathy pulse beneath the surface, inviting readers to recognize themselves in the distortions—and to question what, exactly, we owe to the stories we tell about who we are.
