Produktbeschreibung
Peter Stine, beloved founder and editor of Witness, gives us a debut collection of stories that defy categorization. Here is a great weird scope.

Wildly imaginative, the stories are often funny and absurd, always stripped clean of artifice, and possessed by the same eyes-wide-open-to-the-world consciousness that gave rise to one of the best literary magazines in the country.
