Altered Statements

by M.A.C. Farrant

tagged: short stories (single author)
Description

With its deadpan humour and wry sensibilities, Altered Statements is a collection of inventive short fictions that turn the real world on its head. Farrant is an anthropologist of the absurd, cataloguing the habits and traditions of modern society with wit and wonder. Life as you know it will never be the same.
