SHORT-LISTED N.T. BOOK OF THE YEAR A collection of strange and unusual tales set in a mythologized ’Suburbia’, following various inhabitants as they attempt to stay awake amidst hypnotic routine. In the vein of G.K. Chesterton, J.L. Borges, Franz Kafka and William Burroughs. Regard the bizarre parables of modern life contained within -- such as the man whose telephone follows him everywhere he goes, or the woman who becomes stuck in an infinite loop. Then there is the man who is summoned to court to justify his existence, and the band of gypsies who live on the rooftops of the city.
