This debut collection of stories evokes those moments when lives are unpredictably shaken and reset by forces beyond their grasp. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Making use of a diverse array of narrative modes, settings, and voices, these stories traverse space and time, moving from Egypt during the Second World War to modern-day Liberia and an unfamiliar Los Angeles. The title story, \"Termination Shock,\" offers a lyrical exploration of two traumatic moments in a woman's life that occur decades apart and continue to reverberate in humorous and poignant ways. Janice Margolis shows us characters on the precipice of change-including a narrator in fevered quarantine following the death of her mother from Ebola, a cross-cultural love in a swiftly transforming Syria, and the desolation of the Berlin Wall, which from its various sectors and coordinates, confesses its crimes and mourns its destruction.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANICE MARGOLIS is a Los Angeles-based writer, choreographer, and filmmaker.
