Summary
:
These eight stories reveal a world that's both recognizable and strange: cities of anxiety and violence, where quiet inhabitants lead outwardly banal lives that conceal sinister interiors. The premises, both fantastic and surreal, are also eerily plausible; they often follow the logic of dreams where the real can appear in disguise. Though geographically rooted, the setting ' from Ottawa to Toronto and the South of France ' take on an ephemeral dimension: the geography is of the subconscious.
