summary
A short story collection that explores the weirdness of the human experience: physical transformations and experiments, adolescence and old-age, extreme forms of love, from Japan to Poland through Pasadena . A Gypsy’s Book of Revelation is a collection of stories with an astonishing range of styles and subject matters . A woman visits her cremation from inside the body of her dead self, a competitive couple trains as free-divers, a mother leaves her son behind on top of a mountain, a very pregnant woman experiences a peculiar relationship with a priest-to-be: these stories are full of surprising experimentation that strikes a deeply compelling balance between the real and the bizarre . Embodying unusual premises and worlds, these stories are also fearlessly nontraditional in their structure and approach . These voices haunt, tease and dare while never providing fully fledged answers . Each story is its own unique thing, a small but profound nod to the human condition .
