Synopsis

Welcome to the strange, fertile world of Vanessa Gebbie s imagination in this collection of irreal flash fictions, in which little makes sense and yet everything does. A sea lion learns to fly. A man wakes to find his head is triangular. Babies talk. Sextants grow inside a man s chest. Bella s iron tablets work rather too well. And Daphne grows bonsai in a plethora of odd places. After all, the world keeps turning, and people occasionally do strange things but then, that s life, and life is nothing to worry about ... Or is it?
