β¦ Synopsis
A collection of stunning short fiction from the O. Henry Prizeβwinning author of Siege 13. "Dobozy's prose is an artistic and intellectual boon" (Publishers Weekly).
Upon the publication of Siege 13, Jeff VanderMeer, in the Washington Post, stated, "the sheer variety of Dobozy's approaches to telling stories, and his commitment not only to provoke thought but to entertain, constitute a virtuoso performance.
