Island Rule

From the author of the ';urgent and heartfelt' (San Francisco Chronicle) novel The Companions, a genre-bending collection of interconnected short stories in the tradition of Jennifer Egan and Karen Russell.An angry mother turns into a literal monster. A company in San Francisco can scrub your entire reputation and create a new onefor a price. A failed actor on a reality show turns into an unlikely world savior. And much more. Through each of these twelve interconnected stories, people, places, and even realities are masterfully blended. ';Funny, tender, and compulsively readable, Katie Flynn's warmhearted collection is an absolute gem, with an enormous generosity of spirit and keen wit on display in every line' (Maryse Meijer, author of Rag).
