Winner of the Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction, this vibrant collection brings transcendence, wry humor, and a touch of the uncanny to life's absurdities and catastrophes--whether the 2008 economic crash, fallout after the 2016 presidential election, gentrification, pandemic lockdown, illness, or the intergenerational impacts of the Holocaust and Communist occupation of Eastern Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A hardheaded realist is confronted by both her mortality and a would-be wizard. A thirteen-year-old girl in 1950s Toronto infiltrates the ranks of Bell Canada. A ninety-nine-year-old woman appears to be invincible. A group hikes in Germany, and a solitary woman is pursued on a walk in New Mexico. These deeply moving stories ingeniously consider issues of identity, history, and memory and our shared search for meaning in an off-kilter world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDAPHNE KALOTAY\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eCalamity and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e--shortlisted for the Story Prize--and the award-winning novels \u003ci\u003eRussian Winter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSight Reading\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBlue Hours\u003c\/i\u003e.
