Development Times Vary: Stories

En savoir plus sur le livre

Winner of the 2021 Moon City Short Fiction Award Michele Finn Johnson's colorful, witty stories hum with life. Characters in each of these thirty-six stories evolve at different rates, resulting in missed connections, almost connections, and--best-case scenario--close connections. A high-schooler struggles to figure out where she fits into the stereotypical landscape, searching for her space between these castes; Baby Albert grasps the concept of gravitational waves while his parents have difficulty operating the DVD player; bats mate by instinct while pregnant humans struggle to align. Writing about love, sex, loss, and joy, Johnson exposes the core of her characters.
