Of Sons and Stars

Twisting the everyday in clever and unexpected ways, these short stories transform the mundane into something bright, with a distinct edge. A woman realizes suddenly that she has become invisible; bikers party in a remote mountain pub; an Englishman searches for mustard in a quiet Welsh village; and a housewife’s ordinary life suddenly turns very strange indeed. The collection emphasizes the potential for the extraordinary—even when that may mean a turn to something darker, more tragic, or sordid—and meets these twists with sharp humor and optimism.
