The Unfinished World: And Other Stories

The Unfinished World: And Other Stories

A highly anticipated collection of wildly imaginative short stories from â€œone of contemporary fictionâ€™s true mad scientistsâ€ (Necessary Fiction).
In the weird and wonderful tradition of Kelly Link and Karen Russell, Amber Sparksâ€™s dazzling new collection bursts forth with stories that render the apocalyptic and otherworldly hauntingly familiar. In â€œThe Cemetery for Lost Faces,â€ two orphans translate their grief into taxidermy, artfully arresting the passage of time. The anchoring novella, â€œThe Unfinished World,â€ unfurls a surprising love story between a free and adventurous young woman and a dashing filmmaker burdened by a mysterious family. Sparksâ€™s storiesâ€•populated with sculptors, librarians, astronauts, and warriorsâ€•form a veritable cabinet of curiosities. Mythical, bizarre, and deeply moving, The Unfinished World and Other Stories heralds the arrival of a major writer and illuminates the search for a brief encounter with the extraordinary.
