We live in the times of Chrome Kisses. A generation set adrift, with broken hearts, empty pockets, and pestering mothers. Where the only way to make a buck is to rob banks or wrestle robot-parts, and where two dying ex-lovers pass death jokes to one another in their last days. Chrome Kisses is a collection of stories, a series of loosely connected pulp fiction comedies, about our aggressively anxious times, when a car bumper collision feels like a kiss.
