A fervently comic debut,
leads readers into a series of conversations through phonelines, acts in a play, and a rewound recording of a police interrogation to reveal characters in fumbling bouts of brutality, reflection, isolation, and love.
The relationship between two siblings disintegrates after one asks the other for
pen; a professor and his former student get drinks years after a "romantic" encounter; a book club meets only to find that they have wildly different opinions about a new memoir about their town; and a long-haired feline contemplates existence and consciousness while his cohabitant licks his own butthole.
Whimsical, unconventional, humorous, and always pitch-perfect,
explores how we desperately try to communicate with each other amid the gaps in meaning we create.
