Homeward Bound and Other Stories by Egill Atlason points de vente NEUF

"She was bald. Not like cancer bald. More like... Britney bald."

Professor Newman becomes infatuated with My Little Pony. Dolores chases a lithe painter. Mark keeps putting off his suicide. A charming mixture of melancholy and mirth, Homeward Bound and Other Stories spins exhausted despondency into cautious cheer; unfocused desire into quiet epiphanies; and misdirected longing into unexpected, but genuine, human connection.

Homeward Bound and Other Stories is a short story collection that is equal parts literary, irreverent, dark, and witty. It deals with green initiatives, brony culture and mumbling teenagers. Perfect reading for anyone who feels misplaced in the twenty-first century.

Jacobs Windmill, Diana, and Homeward Bound were first published in Skandali.

Mark and the Girl on the Ledge was first published in Quagmire.
