These five sequences are minimalist novels of sorts - thought-provoking, mostly deadpan prose that is often darkly humorous. From the stark relationship studies of "Bagatelles" and "Dirty
Windows" to the wry observations of "Mr. Deadman" and "A Certain Clarence," the stars of these pieces are the unique takes on Everyman and Everywoman�dead or alive�navigating a world in which
very little is what it seems. Original.
