One of the most original and daring writers in English letters, Michel Faber shows his incredible mastery of wildly diverse literary forms with this, his long-awaited second collection of stories. Faber's characters in these 17 fictions are often dislocated-fragile beings confronting moments of fracture-in worlds that are both real and surreal. From the achingly sad lives of "e;The Safehouse"e; to the moments of exquisite happiness in "e;Vanilla-right Like Eminem"e; to the futuristic savagery of "e;The Fahrenheit Twins,"e; these are fearless stories that crack our humanity wide open. With his brilliant characterization and pitch-perfect prose, Michel Faber has produced a short story collection that will seal his reputation as one of our most arresting and gifted writers.
