In this collection of fresh, futuristic short stories, Pinsker weaves incredibly inventive tales filled with diverse characters. There are stories set post-unnamed disaster about people who are surviving in the new normal. Whether sci-fi, fantasy, mythic, or otherwise, all of the stories are thought-provoking. I love reading something that feels new and different, and makes me a little uncomfortable in the best way. The writing style feels ahead of its time, like how more books will be written as culture progresses. This book blew me away. Top of my list for 2020.
The inmates of my cottage, all at rest, Have left me to that solitude, which suits... Abstruser musings ~Samuel Coleridge
