Featuring 10 short stories and a novella, this literary debut is a quirky mix of fantasy and reality that is told with inimitable flair. In the story "Pica," the deranged cravings of a pregnant woman lead to the accidental poisoning of her coworker, while in "Aquatic Life," a man named Rob spends holidays in his bathroom and dreams about his underage love interest. Finally, the poignant and subtle novella Arrivals unfolds slowly, revealing a mother and daughter in opposite corners of the planet as both experience their own personal revelations.
