The Art Of Cartography (Short Stories)
by J.S. Marcus
On This Page
Description
"Dozens of perfectly observed vignettes -- the stories within these stories -- are amplified when Marcus pieces them together. He is both knowing and impressionable, a brilliant new writer." "This is nervy book. After reading these stories, you look around and you see -- it's a start-from-here planet. Open borders, no boundaries. Everybody on the move, located, re-located. With Marcus mapping, you don't know where you'll end up. What a trip." "Deadpan, dire comedy about the labyrinth of show more modern life." In all 12 stories, we see people in motion, in flux -- again and again deflected by a succession of chance encounters. show lessTags

This is an interesting collection of short stories. I liked the narrator meeting different people and reflecting on who they are.
