Description
Luminis Books presents this true-to-life collection of short stories that recreate that special feeling of a slow-moving summer. Â
The stories in PRECARIOUS are about doing the right thing and regretting it, about making bets and dancing naked.
It all plays out in rain-soaked Seattle, and drought-stricken California, in the front seat of Mom's Malibu, and a vacation cabin on Cape Cod, on a tiny island and in a desert filled with light, heat, and sand that slips through your fingers like the friendships you once had.
In these fifteen stories, you will meet a boy trying to make it through that languorous summer between the end of high school and the start of something else, a woman attracted to a man with muscles, because it makes her feel safe--until it doesn't--and a man who can only imagine what it's like to sleep with many different women, but luckily has quite the imagination to make up for his lack of experience.
In prose that is, by turns, spare and lyrical, the stories of PRECARIOUS capture that special, other-wordly feeling of late summer, a never-ending game of Kick the Can, and all sense of time lost among the stars.
