These surreal, satiric stories pay a mesmerizing visit to the shadowy zone that lies between our everyday lives and a perilously tangible near-future. In The Wall of America, the Department of Homeland Security has put up a border wall between the United States and Canada. But the NEA has plans for the wall as well, turning it into the world s largest art gallery. After the Rapture, working-class life for A Family of the Post-Apocalypse is not as different as one might imagine, despite the occasional plague of biker-gang locusts. Between addiction and art is Ringtime, where a criminal is trapped in a recursive compulsion to visit other people s memories while he is forced to record his own for an eager audience. A Somali schoolgirl living in post-WWIII Minneapolis goes on a bloody crusade to rid her town of a familiar predator, one who might just be a monster, in White Man. Vivid, starkly imagined, and strikingly articulate, this disquieting collection is a journey that skillfully straddles the line between playful absurdity and pointed irony.
