Our Lives Became Unmanageable, Paperback / softback Book

Our Lives Became Unmanageable Paperback / softback

Part of the The Omnidawn Fabulist Fiction Chapbook Prize series

Paperback / softback

Description

An advertising copywriter searches for her missing reflection.

An artist tries to sculpt clouds. A businessman fades into the atmosphere while an old man drifts over rooftops, his gravity broken.

Eleven narrative strands fragment and reform to weave a story of other-worldly ailments and compulsions.

As the befuddled narrators cross paths, their lives grow increasingly unmanageable.

Told with wit and pathos, the linked tales are comical and strange, yet heartbreakingly familiar.

These are the confessions you might hear at a 12-step meeting in a universe of fairy tales and dreams.
