| Summary |
A collection of 30 short stories. Through their celebration of the improbable and unexpected, and their distinctive but complementary grammars of text and film, these stories entertain by engaging with the tribal myths that surround us--religious, patriotic, literary, erotic, popular--often satirizing the mindsets that, out of some obscure primitive need, perpetuate them. |
