Beschreibung
A collection of 56 flash fictions, micro-essays, and contemporary fables about the burden on women and familiesThe Pillow Museum is a collection of 56 flash fictions, micro-essays, and contemporary fables set in various simulacra of our world. Claire Bateman s gorgeous prose captures the imagination with closely observed details of people and places that are startlingly familiar yet unreal, where nothing can be taken for granted, including narrative logic: "e;It was snowing the night they had the fight about the glass piano whose music provided all the light in the house."e;In an authoritative voice that offers no apologies or justifications, The Pillow Museum evokes a closely observed slipstream strangeness that refuses to take any moment or detail for granted a fruitful, delirious disruption.
