Summary

"A new short story collection from international literary star Gunnhild Øyehaug"--

"In this collection Øyehaug's short stories-- some one or two pages long-- converse with, contradict, and expand upon one another. Her stories revolt against the ordinary, reaching instead for the wonder to be found in fantasy and absurdity."--
