Description
It's weird. It's dark, and it is weird.
The world is under a microscope in Leisure's Edge, a collection of surrealist short stories that interweave elements of parable, modern koan, cyclical nightmare and social critique.
Exploring themes of self-importance, statistical probability, agoraphobia, legacy, cannibalism, infinity, mathematics, and the hypnotic lure of the permanence of art, the collection employs humour, not as a mere device, but as a weapon against itself.
Leisure's Edge holds up a mirror to society so that it may stare back and splash cold water in its own face. The stories have complexity and depth, they are thought-provoking with innovative literary structures yet wholly readable.
This work will resonate with admirers of José Saramago, Donald Barthelme, Jorge Luis Borges, and Dostoyevsky's The Crocodile.
