Annotation
Description <p>Playful, shape-shifting and emotionally charged, here is a collection of twelve stories that queer the norm. The stories talk to each other, echo phrases and themes, and even shards of stories within other stories, passing between airports, stacks of men&acirc;&euro;&trade;s lifestyle magazines and memories of Toy Story 3, such that each one almost feels like a puzzle piece of a larger whole, but with crucial facts &acirc;&euro;&ldquo; the saddest ones, the happiest ones &acirc;&euro;&ldquo; omitted, forgotten, unbearable. A blend of science fiction, absurdism and alternative-historical realism, here is a powerful puff of fresh air, aimed at destabilising the heteronormative world and exposing its underlying absences.</p>
