Synopsis

In his second collection of stories, author and filmmaker R.W. Gray ( Crisp ) once again finds the place where the beautiful, the strange, and the surreal all meet--sometimes meshing harmoniously, sometimes colliding with terrible violence, launching his characters into a redefined reality. A lovestruck man discovers the secret editing room where his girlfriend erases all her flaws; a massage artist finds that she can alleviate her clients' pain in more ways than one; a beautiful man invites those who want him to do whatever they wish with his unconscious body; and a couple meets what appear to be the younger versions of themselves, and learns that history can indeed repeat itself.
With captivating language, imaginative flourishes, and a sharp eye for society's obsession with youth and beauty, Entropic is a worthy successor to Crisp>/i>, which The Globe and Mail called "a lovely, softly inflected flirtation with madness."
