How to Find True Love & Other Stories

These neatly-constructed post-modern tales demonstrate the author’s skill at deception.

These are stories that take jibes at both realist literature (with its emphasis on the social qualities of humankind) and absurd literature (which emphasizes humankind’s isolation).
