The Pillow Museum

Gathers 56 flash fictions, micro-essays, and contemporary fables set in various simulacra of our world where the burden on women and families has become absurd and even funny. Bateman’s gorgeous prose captures the imagination with closely observed details of people and places that are startlingly familiar and also unreal.

Proza superba a lui Bateman captiveaza imaginatia cu detalii atent observate ale unor oameni si locuri, care sunt surprinzator de familiare si totodata ireale.
