This debut collection of short stories explores a world that is unsettlingly close to our own. Offices continue to function after the end of everything. Care homes, museums, cafés, and workplaces become stages for quiet cruelty, misplaced loyalty, and absurd survival. Relationships are shaped by misunderstanding, power imbalance, and emotional blindness, yet tenderness appears in unexpected places.
Written in a precise and deadpan style, these stories follow characters who drift through surreal but recognizably human situations. A man hides from his own violence inside a bunny costume. A woman helps a murderer without quite realizing it. An employee defends a photocopier as if it were a sacred object. Love, guilt, desire, and fear are treated with the same calm attention, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Darkly humorous and often disturbing, this collection resists easy explanations. It examines authority, intimacy, and morality with a steady, unsentimental gaze, trusting the reader to sit with discomfort rather than resolve it.
