Fiction. Short Stories. Through twenty-two linked stories, Tristan Foster and Kyle Coma-Thompson explore the creative potential of people's native estrangement from themselves and each other. Two writers who have never met, who live on opposite sides of the globe--one in Australia, the other in the United States--tracking the pattern of probable lives and fates that co-exist between them, from Korea to England, Senegal to Argentina. Their conclusion/suspicion: imagination is stronger, and subtler, than God, and offers more than mere consolation for the difficulties of living.

Fiction. Short Stories. THE LUCKY BODY is a series of stories centering on instances of rupture in social behavior. In the title story we see a group's resolve after brutally murdering a passerby. Later, in "Spring in Zurveyta," a journalist confronts her own mortality when she is granted an interview with a ruthless dictator, only to find she has become a target. "Moving Water" shows us the impacts of second husbands and a mother's struggle to support her children. In the penultimate story, "From Anna," two travelers retell a tale of an ancient civilization where the elders had to fight to the death for the salvation of their grandchildren. And finally, in "Ahead," a man about to commit suicide decides he'd like to live when he remembers the happiness that can be found in stories.
