Who doesn't read their daily horoscope, searching for guidance about what's to come, how to live? Fortune-telling, sex, death, love, ordinary and special days, time passing, humor making it all bearable - these are the repeated gestures running through The Days, a kind of absurdist guidebook made up of ninety-three unconventional, very short stories collected in three tight sections. This is fiction that thinks, stories told with the author's trademark humor and acerbic wit.
