Low-Risk Activities: Stories

In Low-Risk Activities, J Efron crafts a kaleidoscopic collection of stories and experimental forms that confront identity, memory, surveillance, and the strange rituals of everyday life. From mythical memoirs to psych exams and surreal bureaucracies, each entry maps a terrain where language distorts, and reality doubles back on itself.

J Efron’s work has appeared in several literary journals, including 2022 Best of Small Fictions, SAND, Black Warrior Review, and Kyoto Journal. J Efron is a sustainability coordinator and regional development specialist in Japan.
