(2) YA With little exposition or context setting, Lanagan's fourth short story collection leaves readers deliriously off-balance through language that is more imagistic than descriptive and settings that can be simultaneously realistic and extraordinary (e.g., a hardscrabble maritime community beset by a sea creature). Unsettling, often gruesome--these works demand much of their readers, occasionally providing catharsis and unfailingly provoking thought.
